"Part of a 5-peak trail run that started at Newfound Gap. My first trip to the Smokies was epic. Five summits, 10 miles, and near 3,000 feet of climbing. The views were breathtaking, and the trails were gnarly with sections of ice. Legs felt phenomenal and I can't wait to return. Bagged Mt. Ambler twice (once from both sides), Charlies Bunion, Mt. Kepler, and Masa Knob." — runshigleyrun • Nov 18, 2022

"Drove the Blue Ridge Parkway on a picture perfect fall day. Sunny clear blue sky and tree covered mountains showing off some fall colors. Parked in the lot and walked up the summit trail. Great views from the observation deck. We will definitely be back to do a nice long hike up there next time." — jodola • Oct 6, 2022
