    Bartram Trail, Ledbetter Creek to Cheoah Bald
    This is a hard hike. Ended up ~1.5 miles longer than expected. Steep initial climb, levels out a bit around creek camp, then up rest of the way. Plan for extra water given the workout. Slippery rocks and several creek crossings. But beautiful wildflowers, fungi, and views well worth it.
