My wife and I drove up from GA and spent a couple of days day hiking in the park. We usually like to do the Alum Cave trail up to Mt Leconte, but the trail was closed for repair. We decided to try an alternate, but much longer trail to the same location. But about 3 miles into the hike met some other hikers who suggested another spot we had never been to so we changed our plans to Charlies Bunyon. It is right on the AT.

Another group of hikers. We were literally above the clouds.





One of the AT shelters. I didn't get a decent photo, but about 50 yards behind the shelter were a pretty complex set of cables mounted in trees to hang food from the bears.
