    Not far from the Icewater Spring Shelter, this detour is worthwhile, even if you don't want to continue hiking in this direction. The view is awesome and offers a nice photo backdrop.

      About 500 m before Charlies Bunion, there is a diversion to the north from the Appalachian Trail. After 100 m the trail leads to a huge rock, a spot with great view to the west and north and a perfect place to make a break.
