| It was a nice easy walk, beautiful views especially in the fall due to the leaves changing colors. | |

| Nice views. IF you come in the winter it will not be what many people would expect in the south. Watch the trail and rocks if iced over it can be dicy. I went cross country in the area near Kephart prong and saw fresh bear tracks in December. Neat place. | |

| Climbed solo on my birthday in conjunction with Kephart and LeConte. Started at Newfound Gap and used Boulevard and AT. Quite a bit of snow on the trail and did not see a soul the entire day, extremely rare for the Smokies. As a bonus, saw 3 elk while driving out of the park towards Cherokee. A most excellent birthday. | |

| I found this to be a great hike. Along the way there is a nice spring to refresh your water supply. | |

| Wow the Bunion has it's own page. I agree with the author, it is one of the most memorable spots in SMNP. I'll have to dig out some pics... | |

| I've hiked up to Charlies Bunion from several routes, all eventually via the Appalachian Trail, along which the Bunion stands. It's one of the most impressive sights along the entire length of the Southern Appalachians, in my opinion. Everyone who enjoys hiking should see Charlies Bunion when they visit the Great Smokies. Well worth the trip. Lots of bears in this section of the park, in my experience. I almost always encounter bears on this section of the AT. | |
