This 5.5-mile long trail leads up to Brushy Mountain and to the Trillium Gap Trail Complex.  At the top, the 0.4-mile trail leads to the top of Brushy Mountain.  To the left, the 3.6-mile trail leads to Mount Le Conte.  Going straight will put you on Trillium Gap Trail, which leads to Grotto Falls and the Roaring Fork Motor Trail.  Brushy Mountain Trail can be accessed off the unpaved road coming from Greenbrier.  At the fork, take a right, and the road ends at the start of the trail.
