AT crossing of Salt Pond Road (mile 5.8). The southbound AT ascends the stairs on the right. The road ahead leads 1.1 miles to Curry Gap on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Salt Pond Road is gated there to prevent vehicle access from the Parkway. Any possible parking here is just to the left of this picture. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
