Charlies Bunion via Appalachian Trail

03/19/19

Several said this is now their favorite hike - and I'll have to echo that. It was a great hike - with challenging areas. It pays to be prepared. There was still ice on the trail, some black ice as well. It began to melt on our way back down and that made for it to be mudding in a number of spots. We got a tip to go .2 of a mile past the Charlie's Bunion sign. Look to the right there and the view is fabulous, then to the left is a shale trail up to another private Charlie's Bunion! I'm sorry we didn't read this blog first with the comments about going a bit father to Jump Off. This trail was so worth it - I hope to bring my daughter back one day! About the biodegradable wipes - I bring several wipes, each in a baggie, when done, just put it back in the bag, seal it up and pack it out....
