I will never forget this tree, or this photo. The photo was taken on October 20, 2014, at 6:02 pm.
We were at the end of the first day of the first backpacking hike. We had already climbed to the summit of Mt. LeConte (6593) feet on the Alum Cave Trail and crossed the Boulevard Trail to where it ended at the Appalachian Trail.
This was our first white blaze. If we hadn't been running out of light, or running out of energy (and still had 0.5 mile to our shelter) I would have kissed that blaze!
The first of hundreds.
