This 1.2 mile point-to-point trail at the Cranberry Wilderness in Hillsboro, West Virginia leads from the Cranberry Glades parking to the northern terminus of the Cow Pasture Trail (or vice versa). I started tracking this right outside of the end of the Cow Pasture Trail, but this trail goes much further north and runs through the entire Cranberry Wilderness.
Nothing special or interesting to see; however, this road has a gate ~0.5 miles south of the northern terminus for the Cow Pasture Trail. There's also a parking lot right at that gate.
Camping: There are backpacking shelters along this trail too, just 1.5 miles north of the Cow Pasture Trail. If you plan to go beyond the Cow Pasture Trail, you'll need to do so on foot.
