Well, we decided not to hike up the AT, but drove up the FS road and hiked in from the west to join the AT on the north side of Albert Mtn. This is an easy hike with a little bit of climbing just before reaching the peak. Like Pickens Nose hiked earlier, very cold from the high winds and gust, more so than at Pickens Nose. Lots of great views at the peak.
