Albright Grove
Walk a 6.5-mile round trip into Albright Grove for old-growth trees and a quieter forest experience. The length makes it a substantial outing from the Cosby side.
Why go
Albright Grove rewards a substantial walk from the Cosby side with an unusually intact stand of old-growth trees. Large tulip poplars and magnolias give the forest a different scale from the busier roadside stops. The 6.5-mile round trip is best chosen when you want the woodland itself, rather than a summit view, to be the destination.
What to look for
The short loop passes old-growth trees in a quiet forest grove.
Useful to know
Begin at Maddron Bald Trailhead near Cosby; the 6.5-mile round trip warrants most of a morning or afternoon.
