About 25 Hikers from the Carolina Mountain Club showed up for this beautiful hike. It was a roller coaster trail with a lot of uphills that the unseasonal heat made more of a challenge. Beautiful panaramic views from the Trambotore Fields and the summit of Bearwallow Mountain. Canada Violets were blooming along with Queen Anne's Lace and some Blue Mountain Asters. Almost 2000 feet of elevation gain. We could see a part of Lake Lure from the Summit of Bearwallow. I'm totally whipped but grateful to be alive.
