"Doll Flats - Primitive camp site on the descent of Hump Mountain before reaching US19E. This is the last point where the Trail touches North Carolina." (for those heading northbound). Several campsites are available in woods along with a blue-blazed spur trail to water.
Doll Flats is located 3.0 miles uphill from US-19E trailhead. The 2.4 miles further southbound to Hump Mountain, which is a bald with great 360 degree views. Overmountain Shelter (aka Yellow Mountain Barn) in 5.7 miles is reached in 2-3 hours depending on pace. Carver's Gap is the next roadway crossing.
