Morrell Trail is a 3.1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Elizabethton, Tennessee that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
the workout was great. it's up hill the whole way. the views were pretty nice.
Trail was pretty steep, but a great hike. It was also longer than 3.1 miles.
A little steeper than anticipated. Overall, nice trail! Being 6mo pregnant didn’t make things super easy, so we didn’t make it the entire way.
Dog friendly, very steep, not much to look at. Trail head is easy to miss so look for the trail marker. Lots of rocks on the trail that are loose so not great conditions.
This is one of the shortest and easiest ways to hike to the Holston Mountain ridgeline from the Sullivan County side. Once at the top, you can easily make the short hike up Panhandle Road to the Rye Patch peak (second highest on Holston) or cross the road to take a trail down into Carter County. The trail is well used and in reasonably good condition, with some of the nicest views on the mountain. I like to do this trail at least once a year.
The end is not worth effort, good work out though. Probably should be rated hard.
