Hardcastle Gap runs from Bill Knight Gap Road in the north to Highway 32 in the south. The northern 6.5 miles and final 3 miles of the road cross private property. The trail begins on grasslands dotted with junipers and bordered by cap rock buttes. Further south, the trail enters a pine forest. The trail is easy but can get rutted after wet weather. There are two nice dispersed campsites near Hardcastle Gap.
