How pretty is this! Coming across a bald is a great mental break from the timber. The AT on Balds is marked with 4x4 posts in the ground. My book says that people really don't know how or why the balds exist. Some beliefs (based on my book) are that 1. Harsh conditions above tree line helped them form. 2. Indians cleared the land for religious ceremonies. 3. Extensive grazing and cropping. 4. Spacemen. Seriously - it says Spacemen. I vote for #3. This is taken just a little above 5,000 feet.
