9.6 mile hike minutes from downtown Johnson City to 40′ Pinnacle Mountain Fire Tower for amazing views on the back-side of Buffalo Mountain.
Sam’s Gap to Big Bald
Sometimes I take for granted how lucky we are to have the Appalachian Trail right in our backyard. I often default to the same couple of AT hikes, but with hundreds of miles accessible within an hour or so, I’ve been trying to explore some new sections! Sam’s Gap to Big Bald is a section I have heard about a couple times over the years.
