This is undoubtedly one of my favorite places to hike. It’s in the Western North Carolina mountains. Once you’ve hiked to the top of this trail, you arrive at a bald with 360 degree views. The other side of the bald you can hike down joins the Appalachian Trail. It’s gorgeous. One early Spring, I joined a group of about 12 persons and hiked along the Appalachian Trail to a field of White Trillium blooming. It was lovely.
