Max Patch Mountain

Max Patch is one of those places that you just have to visit. It's maintained by the forest service as a bald and is a big grassy area. The Appalachian Trail traverses the top of Max Patch and a walk around the top perimeter will give you a clear view in any direction. I've been several times and will continue to go back. Here's a bit of what I've seen.

We just visited Max Patch Mountain for the first time. It was every bit as spectacular as your photos show. I would love to see it in snow, someday like you did. Wow! Thanks for posting your photos.

Thank you, thank you, Rich. These are beautiful!! We are planning a trip up to Sapphire hopefully within about a week and a half and are praying that the colors won't disappear before we get there. Thanks again for sharing all this beauty.
