Found this below regarding the trail I was asking about, guess I should have just walked a bit further and would have known what was there. If I had a dollar for every time that's happened to me...
"Whitley Gap Trail is about 1.1 miles long; if the visitor wants to visit Adams Bald [Fig. 26(5)], another .5 mile is added to the trip. The best part of the trail, however, is to the top of Wildcat Mountain, which is only about .5 mile. The climb up the north slope is about 300 feet."
