2013 AT RR Season Week 1

My first week in the Smokies was cold, white and deep--Approximately 12” of snow when I got to Mollies Ridge on Sunday. The next storm may dump another 8” for my hike up on Thursday. There are numerous thru-hikers holding up here at Fontana Lodge to wait out the storm. A hiker jam is looming for Thursday.

In spite of hardships caused by the snow the beauty is overwhelming (as you can see in these photos).


More updates to come.
Keep hiking,
Carl
