 This abandoned road is a short distance from the summit and is crossed by the hiking trail to Caesars Head from Sassafras summit.Most people crossing this old roadbed in Sassafras Gap don't recognize it as a road, but it is easily recognized because of the short section of steps going down into the roadbed, and a similar section of short steps on the opposite side of the roadbed going up and the trail then continuing steeply up toward Caesars Head.A short hike South down the old Sassafras Gap Road will take you to Hickory Head Spring, the headwater of the South Saluda River.
