A little closer to heaven... (Max Patch- Hot Springs, NC) by Theresa

1.2K 652

At an elevation of 4,629 feet, Max Patch boasts a 360-degree view of the Appalachian Mountains including the Blue Ridge and the Smokies.

The famous Appalachian National Scenic Trail (or A.T.) on top of Max Patch Mountain near Hot Springs. It was cleared and used as pasture in the 1800s. Today, it's a 350-acre tract of open land on a high knob with 360-degree views. On a clear day, you can see from Mt. Mitchell on the east to the Great Smoky Mountains on the south. Max Patch is part of the Pisgah National Forest.

I thought Saturday's sunrise shoot was going to be a bust because of weather. I was sitting up here getting beat up by the wind and suddenly the sun peaked through and shed some excellent light for about 15 minutes by Daniel Plotts

Western North Carolina had a 4.5 earthquake yesterday! Roads closed. Dams were damaged. Dogs freaked out. Items fell off shelves. Felt for many hundreds of miles! No idea a 4.5 could do any damage!

These mountains see a lot less tourists during the winter months, which make it the perfect season for long secluded hikes. I love summer, but winter is my primary hiking season and I'm missing it today! by Daniel Plotts

This explore page was heartwarming for me - I posted this photo it on Flickr just as we were leaving for the hospital.

I was in the ICU for a month. I made it through. The docs told my family I probably wouldn't recover! I am alive due to the quick thinking of the ER doctor!

P,S. Do yourself a favor and get a phenomena inoculation.

Thank you all for your wonderful likes and comments!

Hills and valleys of western Augusta County, Virginia, leading to Sugarloaf Mountain and the front range of the Appalachians behind it.

High up on Table Rock looking over to Hawksbill Mtn in the Linville Gorge last month. You can see from my pant leg how strong the wind was on this morning. It was so strong it nearly blew my camera and tripod over right after this shot was taken by Daniel Plotts
