Big Yellow Mountain Hike
Fall colors are peaking now in the higher elevations. Arthur Griffith led a small group of hikers up to the bald on Big Yellow Mountain where you can see Table Rock, Hawksbill Mountain, Grandfather Mountain and Roan Mountain in a spectacular panoramic sweep. The Nature Conservancy and the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy are working together to protect this beautiful mountain setting.
Posted — UpdatedI was in Minneapolis Saturday for a hike on Big Yellow Mountain. Fall colors are peaking now in the higher elevations. Arthur Griffith led a small group of hikers up to the bald on Big Yellow Mountain where you can see Table Rock, Hawksbill Mountain, Grandfather Mountain and Roan Mountain in a spectacular panoramic sweep. The Nature Conservancy and the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy are working together to protect this beautiful mountain setting.
You still have time to enjoy what my father called “the pageant of color” in the North Carolina mountains. However, the brilliant hues are already working their way down the mountainsides. And judging from the color of the wooly worms near the Appalachian Trail this could be an early and very snowy winter!
