What a view! I could trace the AT on the ridgelines from Bly Gap to Clingmans Dome, >100 trail miles. Could see from Mt LeConte to Tray Mt to Brasstown Bald.
As part of a multi-day HP trip in 2000. Hiked with Fred Lobdell of the county highpointer gang. A NC native, he knew of these amusing tales and told me of the grave story. Easy hike overall.
