Did this hike yesterday and it was a beautiful day for it! Was there real early in the morning and we had the trail all to ourselves till pretty much noon. It was a great family outing. Your recommendation was spot on!

Hey Mike! There is not a trail route to combine Tibbett Knob and Big Schloss without doing some road walking also. You could do a loop trail by doing the following:
Once you turn on SR 675, park on the road right before Little Stony Road (92). You could walk a couple of miles on Little Stony Road, bearing left at the first intersection until you reach the trailhead for Big Schloss. Once you reach the junction with the Mill Mountain trail, take a left. You’ll pass by the short spur trail on the left after about a mile that will take you to the summit of Big Schloss. Rejoin the trail and continue heading west. You’ll come down the mountain to the Wolf Gap campground. Continue across the campground until you reach the Tibbett Knob trailhead. At 2.4 miles, you’ll reach SR 691. Take a left and follow until you join SR 675 again. Take a left and you’ll be about .5 mile from your car. I would guess this to be about a 9.5 mile loop. It may be just easier to approach them from both sides as out-and-backs though.

Hi. I’m going to be in the Lee Ranger District soon and am unfamiliar with the area. I was looking at all the hikes you have listed with nice views and am wondering if there is a loop possibility. I see that Big Schloss and Tibbet knob start from the same spot, but is there a way to also incorporate other great view hikes into a loop?

Thanks,
Mike

Awesome, Maggie! Isn’t that a pretty little campground? I bet Saturday morning was spectacular for that hike. It was so clear (at least where I was).

Thanks for recommending this hike – a friend and I camped at Wolf Gap last Friday night and ended up having the trail to ourselves most of the morning!
