I started from the pull-off and made it to the Buzzards Roost in roughly 30 minutes. Enjoyed the view quickly before going through the rollers. There were lots of leaves on the ground which made for the trail hard to follow at some places but it wasn’t that much of a slow down. The final climb wasn’t much of a challenge after doing the first 1.3 miles to the Buzzards Roost. The fire tower gave a well deserved 360 degree view of beautiful East TN & Western NC mountains. I carried 3 Gu’s and 1 liter of water in a running vest.
