mm 7.4 USFS 230. The trail actually parallels the road here. There are two places trail north of Deep Gap where access to the trail from the road is possible. The northern one is at the campsite in the previous pictures. This is a view from the one further south. They are only separated by about 100 yards. Note the parking pull-off.
