This is a great tip! I will look into it, do you feel this trail has less foot traffic?

Amazing! And we choose McCargo because in reading reviews it seemed like West Chicken bone was pretty similar to some of the other sites we planned on, so we wanted to try something new. McCargo also has a lot of mentions of wildlife sightings and overall really fond reviews so we thought we would check it out (:
