Confirmed from Allen Gap Trail Head's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Allen Gap Trail Head

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (13 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Only 4 stars because it was a place of mourning for me. REST IN PEACE, LEON! Please send any pictures of his grave if you pass by; it would mean a lot to him. His eulogy: LEON The basil bush who traveled 50 miles on the AT and had 13 girlfriends over the course of 4 and a half days.

★★★★☆ — Fido , Dec 2021

We started our hike back to Hot Springs here on the AT. Very steep hine for over a mile,, then less steep.

★★★★☆ — June , Nov 2022
