Slagle Hollow Trail is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 2.4 miles on city land within the City of Bristol in Tennessee. The route climbs about 369 feet one way, with a steeper stretch of roughly 10% grade near the 0.97-mile mark. The trail starts at about 1,645 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,933 feet before descending back to the trailhead. Fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical October averages from a nearby weather station in Bristol run around 70°F for highs and 44°F for lows, and the station sits roughly 433 feet lower than the trail's high point, so expect temperatures on the ridge to run somewhat cooler. The trail is a short outing, and the Logging Road and Tulip Tree Trail both start within about a tenth of a mile. The Carden Ridge Trail is about 0.6 miles away, and the South Fork Holston River, about 9 miles off, offers river fishing.
