Cool Spring Days, Hot Spring Blooms!





Dudes and Dudettes! Today was a good day for walking in the woods. With sunny skies, cool temps (low to mid 60's) and an often strong wind blowing cool air through the mountains I was able enjoy two hikes totaling 9+ mls. The blooms along Rich Mtn. trail are very pretty and the Trillium is kicking it along this route starting from Rich Mtn. rd. at Ace Gap trailhead. There were also an array of other colorful blooms in white, purple, pink, and yellow.
Sunday the mysterious one and I hiked about 9mls beginning at Fighting Creek Gap along the Sugarlands Mtn trail and down the Huskey Gap trail to campsite #21, which sits along the Little River. We then returned up Huskey Gap trail and followed it out to the parking area for this trailhead on Hwy #411. Where we had left a car after leaving a conference we had been attending in Gatlinburg. Dude! there like 1/2 acre fields of Trillium along this route. I mean like fields or mountainsides of white blooms! Oh, yea. I forgot my camera....guess you'll have to come see for yourself. E-mail me and we'll arrange something or help you find the trails you seek. Peace
