Not accessible to the public, Snake Mountain in Watauga County is mostly a straight shot up to 5,500 feet. We hiked part of it in a foot of snow and the rest this spring. Rocky top with wide, gorgeous views.

We took Finley up to Elk Knob last fall. It was a perfect color day. There’s part of the hike where you have to make your way through tunnels of trees stunted by the weather at about 5,500 feet.

I forgot to post this full moon from last year. The blue moon in August was barely visible from our cabin but I found an opening in the trees and snapped this photo. It’s usually pitch black out there at night!
