Brushy Mountain


The trail to Brushy Mountain from Trillium Gap is a must. I repeat this - if you are ever at Trillium Gap DO NOT MISS BRUSHY MOUNTAIN. This bald-like peak of just over 4900 feet is only a shy mile and easy (though occasionally muddy) hike up to one the best panoramas in the park. Clouds rarely obscure the view as at LeConte and the vistas are in all directions. Flora is scrubby brush, (as the name implies) huckleberries (poor eating) and rhododendron, however, the trail is well maintained. Don't miss this, you hyear?
