Black Mountain Crest Trailhead of the Cumberland Trail — photo spot in 3004 Owl Roost Road, Crab Orchard, TN 37723, USA
Black Mountain Crest Trailhead of the Cumberland Trail
Score4.6Trailhead for the rugged Black Mountain Crest section of the Cumberland Trail — prime for dramatic ridge panoramas, layered Appalachians, wildflower and fall-color shots, and starry-sky compositions. Best at sunrise or golden hour for side-lit ridgelines; autumn and spring offer best foliage/wildflowers. Parking at 3004 Owl Roost Rd; dirt lot, no fee. Trail is steep and strenuous—expect long hikes and limited cell service. Weekday mornings reduce crowds; check weather for afternoon storms.
