Shortly after Sunrise from Buck Spring Gap
For today's Solo hike I decided to start the day in the dark with a hike up to Mount Pisgah for Sunrise.
Gotta start hiking in the dark if you want to be on top of a mountain for sunrise!
My timing was near perfect as I arrived at the summit a few minutes before sunrise. However, the weather did not cooperate. Fortunately I love the fog and was not the least bit disappointed.

By the time I returned down to Buck Spring Gap, the fog had lifted and the views started opening up.

I continued my hike over to the Frying Pan Tower which was also enveloped in fog during my time at the summit.
Anyone else see a problem with this sign placement?
How many no trespassing signs do you see?

Anyone lose a pair of sunglasses along the Frying Pan Trail?
I moved them from the ground to a more visible location.
I finished my hike with the section of the Mountains to Sea Trail from Buck Spring Gap to Elk Pasture Gap (Hwy 151) and back.

It was a beautiful day to be up in the mountains!
