Cowrock Mountain

This is the view from the AT at Cowrock Mountain (35.4 miles north of Springer) looking through Morris Gap at the very distinguished Yonah Mountain (10 miles southeast). On the left side of the Gap just off the left edge of the picture is the summit of Adams Bald, and on the right side of the Gap in the middle foreground is Rocky Mountain, with Piney Mountain near the right edge. The lower southwestern slopes of Wildcat are what you see in the extreme foreground on the left. Most nobos take a few minutes to enjoy this view.

Whitley Gap is between Wildcat Mountain and Adams Bald and is obscured by Wildcat Mountain from this angle. This is a different Rocky Mountain than the one on the AT, 52.0 miles north of Springer.
