The final uphill push to the shelter is really rocky, and can be a stream if its been raining.
Trail in the clouds. While parts of the trail can be clear, others can be shrouded by fog, part of the reason the area is known as the Smokies.

The trail narrows as the AT climbs from Russell Field to Spence Field.
Trail in the clouds. While parts of the trail can be clear, others can be shrouded by fog, part of the reason the area is known as the Smokies.
Initial descent is steep, but littered with mini-falls and rapids (location approximate).
Old logging equipment, or some sort of historical junk (location approximate).
Snow covered shelter and trees set against a beautiful blue sky.
