Solo fall hike to Rocky Top on the Appalachian Trail (Great Smoky Mountains)

Rocky Top on Appalachian Trail
Location: Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Date hiked: 10/14/22
Miles hiked: 12.5
Trails hiked: Lead Cove - Bote Mountain - Appalachian Trail (map link below)

I caught what was likely the remaining colors in the higher elevations on Rocky Top. Most of the bold colors were about mid-way down the mountain and colors are quickly moving to the lower elevations. Such a great time in East Tennessee right now with all the fall colors.

“Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top…
Rocky Top, Tennessee”
