We woke up at 7:30 AM, we had a lot to pack up since we were tenting. Once we finished packing everything up we started hiking at 8:30 AM. (pics below)
The down from Unaka Mountain was 2.2 miles and took a little while. From there it was a small up to Cherry Gap Shelter, and then a small 1.4 mile up and 1.7 mile down to Iron Mountain Gap. When we got to Iron Mt Gap it was 12 PM, and there was a water jug there left by the same shuttle driver. So we filled up water and ate Macaroni and Cheese and a sweet chocolate chip cookie for lunch. The gap was very busy with a lot of cars and trucks driving through. Once we finished lunch, we started hiking again. (pic below)
About 1.2 miles after the gap, there was an apple orchard! We wanted to pick the apples, but we couldn’t since they were way too high. It looked like an old orchard from the 1900s. (pics below)
We kept hiking for a while with small ups and downs until we got to Little Rock Knob vista. The view was nice, so we stopped to take a picture and get a break. (pic below)
We stopped at a water source at 372.6 to have Yellow Curry for dinner. Then we kept hiking for a bit, until 8 PM. We stopped about 0.5 miles before Hughes Gap, because we couldn’t make it since it was getting late. There we set up our tent and mats, ate a Snickers bar, and then went to sleep.
