Electric Avenue Two is an easy out-and-back hike in Tennessee, about 3 miles from the town of Pan Gap. The route is roughly 3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 240 feet, and it reaches a high point of about 1,636 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 1.3 miles in, where the grade reaches about 5%. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically September and October, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 78°F to 67°F and lows from about 61°F to 51°F. That station sits about 5 miles away and roughly 470 feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run a little warmer. The hike takes about an hour to complete. The River Gorge Trail lies about 0.7 miles away, and Electric Avenue One and Grindstone Ridge are each about a mile off. Climbers can find the T-Wall West area about 1.5 miles away.
