My brother and I hiked a (small) section of the AT on Roan Mountain straddling the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. Mile after mile and never saw a sole but our own shoes. Rain, ice, green tunnels through the quiet forest … and no other human beings. True natural secular sanctuary.

Thank you!!!! ….My license plate supports the trail… so far haven’t had a chance to hike it but love the idea — photographs are the next best thing! Gratitude for taking us along!!!!
