Our 2012 Spring Trip

We are back from our visit to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the surrounding National Forests and other natural areas in North Carolina and Tennessee.

We take nature's beauty as a witness of God's love for us, and are happy to share that beauty with you in our photographs and descriptions of what we saw.

Please checking back as we fill in missing entries.

The parking lot at the Cave Cove Campground where the ranger station and gift shop is located.
I hiked on the Turkeypen Ridge Trail near Cades Cove. The trail was relatively flat and wide.

At a trail intersection, I turned right onto the Findlay's Cane Trail, and found more wildflowers.
