Charlie's Bunion

Last week a couple friends and I hiked out to Charlie's Bunion on the Appalachian Trail.

 

 

We began our hike at Newfound Gap shortly after the road opened.

Here is the view from the Appalachian Trail shortly before Charlie's Bunion.

It was so wonderful to be up here in the snow.  Since the road was closed due to snow and ice earlier in the day, the trail had not yet been packed down and had nearly 10 inches of snow in places.
