Today's trailhead Another great day for a hike on the Appalachian Trail! We soon find out that there is snow remaining from the last storm. We take the side trail to a great mountain vista! Here we get nice views of snowy mountains. We find deep snow drifts at McClure Gap! The snow in the trail here is knee deep to Pam!
