We used the Wolf Gap Recreation Area to park and hike out to Big Schloss. There wasn't an entrance fee to this area and parking seemed a bit limited where we were located (we arrived around 10:30 am).

The trail out to Big Schloss is definitely considered 'moderate.' The first mile is the harshest; the rest is still an incline but not as severe. It's a good workout! The views at the top will take your breath away and make it all worth it. The trail is well-traveled and you'll more than likely run into other hikers.
