The Rhododendron Trail is a wide, half mile long, difficult trail, that connects to the Horse Trail in two places. The trail climbs Wilburn Ridge via a broad switchback through Catawba Rhododendron groves and beautiful fields of wildflowers in spring and early summer. Hiking this trail has many rewards. Beautiful views, spectacular sunsets, and the little-known herds of wild ponies that graze the upper ridges.
