| tioga | From AT Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2012 | |
| Summitted while doing a 30 mike trip along the AT from Newfound Gap to Davenport Gap with my brothers. Spent some time on Charlies Bunion to take in the views. | |

| mlandau3 | An Impressive Pinnacle Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2011 | |
| We hiked from Newfound Gap. It was really hazy. After we got to the top of the Bunion, we continued north on the AT for a few miles and then turned around. The haze lifted as we approached the Sawteeth and the Bunion appeared very impressive indeed. | |

| imryel | AT to Charlie's Bunion Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2011 | |
| 7.9 mile hike from the lookout down the AT. Recommend you scramble up above the bunion, great view looking down. Hit some rain on the way back, but not too bad | ||

| Not the best views... but typical for April. A beautiful dayhike to "the Bunion" from Newfound Gap. | |

| montanachris | Happy New Year Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2007 | |
| What better way to bring in the New Year than to take a nice day hike. I remember really enjoying being able to hike without 'post-holing' through deep snow in Jan. I had moved to NC from MT just a couple months before this hike. The trail cruises through spruce/fir forest which reminded of MT. It's nice to have a little of bit of the old with the new! | |

| rangermatt | First Smokies hike Date Climbed: Oct 26, 2008 | |
| Good easy day hike - fall colors just barely still hanging on. Good one to do for my first time in the Smokies. | |

| This was one of my first hikes in the Smokies. I have been hooked ever since. | |

| LilBird | Whoa that's a long way down... Date Climbed: Jan 27, 2007 | |
| The title gives my impression of where my hubby scrambled to. I wouldn't get on the main rock because of a dizzy spell. Gotta remember to NOT look down. | |

| peakrat76 | AT from Newfound Gap Date Climbed: Apr 15, 2008 | |
| A nice, wet, hike in the woods. First "climbing" trip east of the Mississippi. Six inches of wet, heavy snow fell the night before we climbed via the A.T. Headed north and ambled over the summit of Mt. Ambler, passed nearby Kephart, and over "Masa Knob" just before arriving at the Bunion. A fun day. Met several "Through Hikers" which was great. | |

| It was great to hike this with my dad and it was much better than I expected. A great view and very little effort. Do I have to go back to Gatlinburg now? | |

| johnmnichols | Great hike Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2005 | |
| This is a great dayhike along the AT from Newfound Gap. Also serves as a good trail run along this stretch of AT since there are no major sustained climbs or descents -- very runnable. | |

| captainbuuda | Smokies Classic Date Climbed: Feb 18, 2007 | |
| This was a really great hike since it was my first real winter hike with snow and ice (growing up in FL gave me a fascination with snow and mountains). There were many portions of the trail that were like an ice luge. We had brought yacktrax, and even though they weren't as secure on the ice as the instep crampons we saw another hiker wearing, they got the job done-- nervously. The view was breathtaking as well. | |

| Hiked up here in the snow with some good friends, one of whom suffered from hypothermia on the second day of the trip. | ||

| Sarah Simon | Views galore Date Climbed: Nov 23, 1997 | |
| Besides almost breaking my neck on the downslope trail from Ice Water Springs (ICE is the keyword), the slip 'n slide walking was worth the fantastic views from the Bunion. | |
