On our way to Mt. Mitchell, we decided to stop at Lake James State Park for the night. This park as walk-in car camping, hot showers, and some of the prettiest views of the MST we got on the entire trail. Across the lake, you can see Shortoff, Tablerock, and you can follow the MST across for a solid 20 miles. It was so cool to be able to see the miles we hiked from down at this lake. . . . #Mountainstoseatrail #mountainstosea #thruhike #hiking #backpacking #ashevilletrails #828isgreat #optoutside #sweatydirtyhappy #hikertrash #appalachian_explorers #lakejames #lakejamesstatepark #ncstatepark #linvillegorge #shortoff #tablerock linville #carcamping
