Nice hike (my kids love it) and great 360 views at the top. You may see some cows at the wide open pasture on top. Bring a picnic lunch. Go straight onto US Hwy 74-A East toward Chimney Rock (up a very long set of switchback curves) to the town of Gerton. Turn right on Bearwallow Mountain Road and go 2.1 miles to the top of the ridge and park on the side of the road (where pavement starts) near the gate in front of a dirt road (don't block gate).
