I got an early start from Mollie’s Ridge Shelter after a much-needed long nights rest.

The rain from yesterday had passed on and the trail was pretty nice.

I began the long descent out of the park to Fontana dam as the sun came out and it got very warm. I ended up at the Fontana dam shelter, also known as the Fontana Hilton.
