West Prong Friday

This hike on a favorite default route was done on a cool, damp afternoon with the "Mysterious One".
This activity won out over another route and a trip to Dollywood! The Dollywood thing is a freeby and can be done another day, while the other route was going to be pushing it in regards to available time.
This Friday afternoon walk was quiet, with only birds and squirrels seen, and few people on this moderately difficult trail.
The Great Smokey Mtns NP, remains busy with breaks from schools and people visiting to see the colors in the fall foliage, so please drive carefully! I encourage all visitors to any NP to call ahead or stop by one of the Park visitor centers for current information.
