Beauty Spot
The Appalachian Trail
snakes its way up the grassy bald at Beauty Spot, which has an
elevation of 4,437 feet and is located north of
Erwin, Tenn. A cold front darkened the sky and put a layer of ice
also known as hoarfrost, wintertimes equivalent to summertimes
dew on the trees on Friday. The top of the bald provides a 360-degree
view that includes Roan, Unaka and Black mountains.
The Appalachian Trail is a 2,174-mile footpath that begins in Georgia
and runs through Tennessee before ending in Maine.
