About

Andrews Bald is a 3.6-mile roundtrip hike descending through high-elevation spruce-fir forest to a popular grassy bald. Known for flowering azaleas in summer and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The return hike involves a relatively strenuous climb back to the Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome) trailhead.
