mm 12.3 The road to the Audie Murphy parking area is really a section of the road followed by the AT on the top of Brush Mountain. Beyond this point the road is closed to vehicles. Follow it 0.1 miles to meet the AT where the northbound trail comes in from the left after the climb from Craig Creek then continues along the old road. The last 0.6 miles of the route to the monument coincides with the AT. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
