Trip Report/Photos
There were two of us on this nice hike through lush forest. We did not get many views as the forest was thick for most of the hike. We did get a glimpse of the clouds rising from the trees, hence the Smokies Mountains were showing off.
This hike had an abundance of blooming rhododendrons, where the previous hikes had none to few.
We had numerous up and downs on our walk, but none too severe. An enjoyable day.
