Mount Cammerer Hike

Saturday morning we work, had breakfast, and got ready for a busy day of hiking. We started at the Big Creek Ranger Station and hiked up the Chestnut Branch Trail to the Appalachian Trail. Traveling west on the AT, we passed a few scenic overlooks, before taking the Mount Cammerer trail up to the peak.

There was an old lookout tower at the summit and we rested and had lunch here and took photos of the spectacular views of fall foliage.

After an hour, we hiked back down the mountain and back to camp.

The total length was about 12 miles with 3500 feet of elevation gain! We headed into Tennessee for dinner before calling it a night.
