A photo slideshow of the conditions of Round Bald since 2004. Round Bald is situated between TN and NC and is a very popular destination for many hikers. Basically it is being 'Loved to Death.'
Last year a committee consisting of regional partners including TEHCC, ATC, Cherokee and Pisgah USFS and SAHC was created to determine possible solutions.
Not only does the video show how the area has deteriorated, but it also shows how much effort TEHCC has put into maintaining this section of the Appalachian Trail. The extreme and ever changing weather conditions are also highlighted.
This seemed the easiest way to share with the committee. I also think it might be interesting for hikers to see how quickly a favorite area can change, especially within just a few years. Next time on Round notice the differences.
It is never to late to Volunteer!
