The hike to Charlie's Bunion was by far the longest of the hikes we did, as well as the first. All seven of us made it for the whole hike, and it was a wonderful trail. It had good incline the whole two hour trek up and was far from any 'ol walking path. There were plenty of roots and rocks, bumps and cliffs. It was wonderful. On and off during our four plus hour hike there and back we had light wintery mixes of sleet and snow (very light, but evident at times). We met a lot of people on the path too, and struck a few short conversations with some of them (mostly dad initiating those conversations). One lady we met was loaded with hiking gear and she informed us that she left Georgia 36 days earlier. She was hiking the Appalachian Trail, all 2,200 miles of it, expecting to finish in Maine in October. As we hiked along, we met a number of individuals and couples hiking the whole trail. Though one couple mentioned they hoped to be in Maine before October - they were aiming for September.
