Appalachian Trail Landscape Photography | Blue Ridge Mountains NC

A beautiful summer afternoon along one of my favorite sections of the Appalachian Trail during the spring rhododendron bloom in the mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. The high altitude grassy balds in the Roan Mountain Highlands region offer expansive scenic views in every direction, and large natural gardens of catawba rhododendron and flame azalea dot with hillside with vibrant splashes of color. The perfect elements for a memorable hike surrounded by mountain scenery that is simply breathtaking. Hope you enjoy the view!
