The Tryon Missing 40 Trace is set in the beautiful Pacolet River Gorge. The land is being leased from the Town of Tryon by the Saluda Community Land Trust who built the moderate 1 mile hiking trail.
The trail starts at the convergence of Joles Creek and the North Pacolet River, it continues next to the river and features two unassisted river crossings
in about ankle high water. Taking the trail to the right is recommended to save river crossings for the end of the hike. White blazes mark the trail
throughout.
