2020-08-17 Mountains-to-Sea Trail with Brenda

Mountains-to-See Trail Shuttle Hike
Beetree Gap to Rattlesnake Lodge

Buncombe County, NC

I joined Brenda on a shuttle hike along the Mountains to Sea Trail (MST).  Anytime I head up to the Blue Ridge Parkway I like to give myself extra time to stop and enjoy the views.  Today was no exception!

We met up at the Tanbark Ridge Tunnel trailhead and shuttled up to Beetree Gap to begin our hike.

This section of the Mountains to Sea Trail offers up some impressive viewpoints.  We were in the for some of them, but fortunately we both love hiking in the fog. I really enjoyed this section of the MST! 

Here are some of the photos from our hike:

The Captain was recovering from Hernia Surgery and wasn't able to join us for the hike.  But he did have time to join us for a brew at the Burning Blush Brewery in Mills River.
