From the Cherohala Skyway, this mountain bald is a an easy hike along an old forest road. At the top, a 360 degree view awaits. At 5560 feet, it is the highest point in the Unicois.
Near the summit is a cross and marker at the spot where a couple loggers' bodies were found after having been frozen to death. The two fellows, Andy Sherman and Paul O'Neal, were trying to cross the mountains to get to Robbinsville before Christmas 1899. Nine months later their bodies were discovered by a hunter. All accounts of this incident which I have read, note the bodies were found near several jugs of moonshine.
