I’ve spent better than 40 years in Shining Rock, Graveyards, and Flat Laurel area, but never made it to MP. Looking forward to it.

The views from there, and from the grassy meadow on the west side, were super! Loved seeing my beloved Shining Rock/Black Balsam/Sam Knob area from a new perspective. Much of the trail had up to six inches of snow. Also found the spur that heads toward Mount Hardy, and plan to go there soon. Your trail descriptions are very helpful.

Feel like it’s a “best kept secret” and a good place to escape the “crowds” that can gather in Shining Rock. The trip to Green Knob is well worth the extra effort and mileage…but, you’re right, not good in a storm.
