The day began at 4:00 am in the Newfound Gap parking lot! We hiked out to the Jumpoff (3.25 miles) to watch the sunrise. I would recommend this experience to anyone! It's amazing! I would say it's a moderate hike, not too strenuous for someone who hikes on a regular basis.
From there, we continued our hike out to Charlies Bunion (adding another 1.7 miles). Luckily getting there so early we pretty much had the bunion to ourselves, which is rare because this is a popular trail.
The return trip from Charlies Bunion is 4.4 miles. It can be considered strenuous when your legs are tired and you got up at 2:00 am! Lol! All in all, a beautiful day in the mountains.
