Our third day on the Silver Comet Trail in November 2014 was a short ten miles that began in downtown Cedartown and ended at the Alabama state line. The trail follows some sidewalks and streets for a few blocks through part of Cedartown before regaining its own right of way. While most of this section of the trail is relatively flat, there is a helix to climb just after passing under US 278 and before crossing over the misnamed Dry Creek. The trail follows US 278 for nearly a mile of fairly gentle undulations before accessing the old railroad right of way.
