Hiking
Cheoah Bald is a 5062 ft summit, the highest in the Cheoah Mountains Range. There are three routes to the summit, all of which are considered difficult. The hike is rewarding when you get to the grassy bald at the top with scenic views of the forest.

Up here at 1540m you can enjoy one of the few beautiful panoramic views on the AT (when there is no fog)
