So my favorite mountain on this trip was #BigFrogMountain in Tennessee. It has tunnels of gnarly trees, a magical spring near the summit, beautiful views, and the northern approach trail (part of the #BentonMacKayeTrail) goes along a narrow ridge with steep drops on the left and right. I'll post a video of this in the thread.

That first picture isn't crooked. My phone has a level sensor. That's the tunnels of trees on the side of the mountain.

Yesterday I got home from #backpacking trip along the #BentonMacKayeTrail. The trip started with my and my two teenagers, but one of the boys twisted their ankle going down a mountain. I did a total of 54.8 miles of the #BMT, 13 of which with 2 of my boys.#

I climbed over 11k feet, which is the height of Mt. Hood in Oregon. My favorite mountain was #BigFrogMountain in Tennessee. I'll post more about this in a thread.
