We visited River’s End Restaurant again for
breakfast before setting out on the trail at 9:00 a.m. This section of the trail was everything we
heard it would be – very steep and a long uphill climb. Eight miles of elevation climbing from 1723’
to 5062’ at Cheoah Bald. It was
definitely the most strenuous day we have had on this section. We reached Cheoah Bald at 3:00 p.m. It was a beautiful view from the
top of Cheoah Bald.
