First real crossing. Just wanted to give an idea of what to prepare for. I'm 5'10" and it was right at knee deep. Keep your crocs on for the maybe the next mile. Several rock hops and one more knee deep ford.

Last knee deep crossing if you are headed up Noland Creek toward Pole Creek.

This is the footbridge just past camp 64 on Noland Creek Trail.
Just past Camp 64, enjoy this great log bridge.
Camp 64 is not a great place for hammocks, though you can make due. It's a good tent location.
Just past Camp 64, cross the footbridge and take the unmarked trail directly ahead. This was a mid-May photo after the graves were decorated on the first Sunday in May, I assume, and the families had cleaned graves.
Lonesome Pine Overlook - quick short side trail from Noland Divide. Looking towards Bryson City. This would be a good day hike if staying in BC.
