Hasn't voted | At the summit area there is a trail leading west from the AT over the top of the summit to a view point overlooking the valley. Directly opposite that trail there is one going east. Follow the one to the east to where it ends at some rocks with a view and then go around or through the rocks and turn around and look back at them. | | Posted Feb 24, 2006 8:37 pm |
| hgrapid | I know that trail | |
Voted 8/10 | Yes Buz, I know that trail. But I didn't remember that sight. Very nice shot. I will try and find that if I go back there. | | Posted Feb 25, 2006 4:40 pm |
