Description:
Max Patch is Western North Carolina’s benchmark scenic hike — a grassy bald summit at 4,629 ft with unobstructed 360-degree views of the Black Mountains, Great Smoky Mountains, and Pisgah ridgelines in every direction. On clear days, the view extends 80+ miles. No trees. No obstructions. Nothing between you and the full Appalachian panorama.
