Tom hiked this 6/10 mile trail out and back going down the mountain side from a parking area near the Standing Indian Campground in the Nantahala National Forest near Franklin, NC. The Appalachian Trail passes within 5 feet of the parking area and we saw hikers that were attempting the whole trail, which runs from Georgia to Maine. Since I don't think I'm ever going to hike the whole thing, I decided to take my own picture when I get a chance to be on the trail for a short while, or just crossing the trail. Here, along with photos from the trail is my latest AT (standard Abbr. for Appalachian Trail) photo. |

| Switchback on the trail- left down the trail - right up to the parking area. |

| A large tree and a man (not the large tree that gives the trail its name.) |

| Trillium (note the 3 petals and 3 leaves) |
