Wow, Charlie’s Bunion Looks a Lot Like Sugarland Mountain!
LyttleBryan May 2nd, 2010
This weekend I had a chance to do a nice relaxing hike. It didn’t start that way though. The original plan was to hit Charlie’s Bunion and the Jumpoff. Unfortunately impending bad weather and some late April snow canceled our plans. Our backup for the weekend was nice and relaxing though. We hiked up Sugarland Mountain Trail to Huskey Gap and then back down Little River to Elkmont.
I have to say, after doing Noland Divide a couple of weeks ago, even the incline over the first three miles of Sugarland Mountain seemed enjoyable, almost easy. It may have helped that I was only carrying about 8lbs of gear max. There’s nothing overly spectacular about Sugarland Mountain or Huskey Gap. They don’t have any of the usual “attention grabbers”; there’s no beautiful waterfalls, lookouts, or large fields of flowers. They’re just nice, well groomed trails that make for an enjoyable stroll across varying terrain.
