From the popular tourist stop Newfound Gap, Charlie's Bunion is an eight mile round-trip moderate to strenuous hike along the historic Appalachian Trail. The views will take your breath away and the hike is definitely a strong cardio workout. One of the toughest hike we've ever did. Its almost 2.7 miles uphill and 1.3 miles downhill. Hiking path is rocky so be sure to have sturdy hiking shoes. There is no washroom until you get to shelter which is 3 miles away from starting point. There will be two intersection on the way so do check sign board and follow correct trail. It will be better if you start hiking early like 9 am or so. Although it was super smoky that time, we did get to see a little bit of the view and watch the clouds roll over the mountains.
