Jun 17, 2020 — Initially I wanted to do an epic loop that would follow the entire ridgeline leading along the Appalachian Trail from Yellow Bald to Standing Indian, but the poor weather made me think twice about this 25+ mile day. Instead, I took the standard route up to Standing Indian, starting from Deep Gap. I'll check out that loop another time - it looks like a good one.
From the Deep Gap Trailhead (gravel, accessible by any car), I headed along the Appalachian Trail through pretty forest with some obscured views and easy switchbacks. The last half mile had a section that followed the ridgeline and would have some nice views on a less foggy day. The summit requires taking a short detour from the Appalachian Trail on a spur trail to get there.
