Confirmed from Mombasha High Point'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 Mombasha High Point
Nice hiking area on the A.T.. several challenging high rocky spots. Catrocks was a good hard climb. There was an easier bypass which I did not use
The High Point itself was a little disappointing because most of the view was obstructed, but great hike to get there.
high point was the low point of this hike.. I beat it better in the winter when the trees have less leaves to block your view. Still nice it was just a let down. The trial about half a mile before it marked in blue has a better view.
Nice trail, medium difficulty due to some steep incline areas. Marked well, easy to follow. Very dog friendly trail with a great view. Parking is limited.
