The ridge of Big Firescald Knob offers excellent viewing of the surrounding mountains and cliffs. Camp Creek Bald sticks out as a high point further down the ridge. This section of the Appalachian Trail sits on the border of two states (North Carolina and Tennessee) and two national forests (Pisgah and Cherokee).
