We lucked out on our trip to Trayfoot Mountain. We had no idea upon arrival that it was National Public Lands Day when we did this hike, so the entrance fee to the national park was waived. The best payoff of this hike was at mile ~1.25, but the whole thing was pleasant. There were two overlooks, a few nice creek crossings, and a very nice cleared backcountry camping area near one of the creeks.
We followed the directions found on Hiking Upward: https://www.hikingupward.com/SNP/TrayfootMountainPaineRun/

| View from Blackrock Summit. This area was quite popular because of the rock scrambling, gorgeous views, and proximity to the parking area |

| Looking towards Buzzard Rock (to the left in this photo). Smaller viewpoint than Blackrock summit, but also nice. |
