The summit of Point Misery is about halfway. The next ascent is the steep climb up Little Butt. The trail goes along a narrow ridge then around the east side of Yeates Knob. It continues down to Cane River Gap on NC 197. A faint trail goes to the summit of Yeates Knob, but views are somewhat limited by trees and bushes.
Camping is available.
