Watched the fog roll off the summits here for a good thirty minutes. This was late April and truly enjoyed looking out over the hillsides to see green trees starting to fill in. As with Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee had been sparse with tree cover. I had started to worry about sunburn. Charlie's Bunion gave me a spectacular view and a further explanation of "The Green Tunnel", an Appalachian Trail nickname that held true especially after Tennessee and all throughout Virginia/Pennsylvania. #appalachiantrail #trektheat #thetrek #hiketheat #hikethewhites #whiteblaze #thruhike #thruhiking #gsmnp #smokies #nationalpark #findyourpark #northcarolina #tennessee #hiking #hikertrash #april #spring #clingmansdome
