Day 7 of our hike. Our final day! All of us can't wait to shower. Today's trail felt very different than previous days. It was rockier. It reminded me of the climb up Shortoff Mountain in Linville Gorge. We even saw a fringe tree, which I believe we've also seen in Linville Gorge too. We had a couple of great views on our way down. As we descended, we saw our first rhododendrons in bloom. On our way we started to see a lot of day hikers as we approached the end of the trail. A few groups congratulated us on our finish. I've taken notes on a few things I want to change for my next backpacking trip. It was a great experience.
