Begin your hike in the busy Kuwohi Parking lot, and quickly leave the crowds behind. Hike through the Southernmost extent of the boreal forest found 1,000 miles north in Canada. On a clear day, marvel at the sea of mountains and see all the way to Fontana Lake.

In the summertime, see beautiful Flame Azaleas frame these views. The surrounding foliage becomes an artist’s palette of colors in the fall, all while enjoying a pleasant respite on a beautiful Appalachian bald.

On your way out from the hike, visit the tower at Kuwohi, the highest point in the Park, on your own.
