    Looks like a great place to hang!

    I hope you enjoy every step. It's an incredible place.
    Unaka is part of our AT Finale, which we'll complete in Nov 2020. Our plan is to "hike through it slowly" savoring every step.

    FWIW climbing it sobo is considerably easier than nobo.

    @ ladytaz: wow - nice shots! Thanks for sharing! I'd be smiling big too!

    @gbolt: yes - the small-ish one on the left, on the way up (nobo), before you get into the Spruce.

    u.w.

    Unaka has been my favorite place on the AT so far. It's one of those places that brings you peace and feels like home the minute you step foot on it.
    I made that climb alone pre dusk, the wind was blowing so smoothly over the ferns it had such a calming effect over me.
    I made camp at the spruce forest on top and shared a campfire with three guys I got to know (Ragnar, Brownie, & Pockets!). Loved it.
