"Accessible via Camp Rockmont trail system. There is a juncton a the top where 3 paths meet. I'm assming the 2 other ones go along the mountain ridge. I will have to go back and explore them one day" — micahstewart • Jan 13, 2023

"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
