This is two men sitting on Pickens Nose in Macon County, North Carolina. The rock outcropping stands at 5,000 feet above sea level. It overlooks the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Betty Creek basin 2,000 feet below. With care, visitors can explore the outcropping, but other areas are recommended only for those with rock climbing experience.
