Cross Wallace Branch and hike uphill on the Bartram Trail. In a quarter mile you will pass Ray Cove Falls. Continue for about another quarter mile, entering a new forest type of rhododendron and pines. Once crossing the FS Road intersection and the bridge across Wallace Branch, continue for another 1.5 miles.

In an uphill stretch you will see a sign on your right that reads "WILLIAMS PULPIT." look for a footpath to the left to reach the rock outcrop. From the outcrop you can view Standing Indian, Albert Mountain, Siler Bald, and other Nantahala peaks.
