Just a few weekends ago, Mother Nature displayed her finest work on the MST along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The leaves were a brilliant gold, orange and yellow, and for bonus beauty, a rainbow sliced through the landscape. Now, as you walk the MST in the rest of the state you are treated to the same display as fall creeps downhill to our lower altitudes. With three distinct geographical regions of natural beauty, all are to be celebrated and enjoyed at different seasons and for different reasons. Get out, reflect on what you love and are thankful for on the MST. As you walk the changing trail this fall, take a moment to thank the volunteers that make the trail safe and enjoyable for all to walk. For us, we are most thankful for you. The MST Community is broad - from hikers, to land owners, from trail angels to trail volunteers. It takes every one of you to make the trail work. Without you, without the hours you give, the dedication you have, the passion you share, the trail would be a just a path in the woods. With you, it's a vibrant community of engaged, unique, committed people all working together towards a common purpose - an enduring footpath that connects North Carolina. Thank you. #mountainstoseatrail
