Amazing place to hike the AT. We hiked the area a number of times in all seasons from Lemon Gap, Garenflo Gap and in winter just from the Max Patch Parking lot. It is super windy on the top especiall…Full review by AT-Donna

Will not find better views with this easy of a trek. 360 views of mother nature at its best. would be beautiful any day of the year. Safe for all ages.Full review by rntravel98
Wolf Creek Falls? I don’t see anything on here about the falls. I’ve found things when I google it. But I want to hear from people who have been there. We’ll be in a Jeep so I don’t mind the rough roads. I’ve read that it’s across the TN border and about a slow 40 minute drive from Max Patch. If you’ve been there, tell me if it’s worth it.

Sorry to say I haven't but I've heard of them. Heading back to hot springs maybe january. Where y'all from?
I am looking to hike this right before the sun sets to catch the views as the sun goes down and star gaze for a little after. I am interested to hear thoughts about making it back to the parking lot in the dark? Of course, we will have lights with us, but does anyone have any reason why we should not do this? The sun will set around 5:30pm and we will likely head back to the car around 7pm. Thanks!

Its an easy walk. If your nervous about walking in the dark I would take a small flashlight and some walking sticks. Depending on which way you go there were a few steps to take. Easy skill level as path is hard to miss or stumble off
We are planning on taking engagement pictures mid October on a Saturday. Is the bald going to be so crowded that it ruins the pictures?

Congrats!!! Max Patch is a large open area. Plenty of room to roam. People are good about being respectful when some one is taking pictures. As matter of fact I’ve seen engagement pictures & a wedding performed there.
