Rocky Top (6.47 miles away)
Newport, North Carolina
Big Clifty is a winding trail leading you up 1,600 feet on the north side of the Meadow Creek Mountains. This mostly maintained trail has no major challenges, making it a pleasant short journey for any high clearance vehicle. This trail also provides access to the Meadow Creek lookout tower overlooking quite a distance in every direction. Camping is sparse, but a couple of locations are adequate for small groups.
