Day 14 of our Appalachian Trail thru-hike. We reached 100 miles on a beautiful day! Saw some great views after a REALLY steep climb to the Albert Mountain fire tower. —Follow us on Instagram for daily updates! @followtheswords—
This beautiful spot is up about 1/2 mile from the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, NC.
The place with a funny name:  Pickens Nose.  Despite the weird name, this is a great spot to visit as it provides breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.  This particular shot was during the Summer when there were numerous wildfires in the area.
