Leaf Peeper Alert? Saturday, 10/11/2008
& Saturday 11/1/2008
Highlight: I got to watch & photograph a moma bear with her cub for
several minutes.
Saturday, 10/11/08, I made a 9.2 mile hike across the ridgelines
of Rich Mtn and Scott Mtn along the northern boundary line of the Smokies. I like this hike because of its nice
valley views and abundant wildlife. It is also quite close to my home.
I repeated the hike on Saturday, 11/1/2008.
Fall colors are on display along these trails.
Highlights in the photo gallery:
- Middle elevation fall color views
- Northwest Smokies boundary views (Foothills Parkway)
- Rare plants like ginseng, green violet and yellow leafcup.
- Moma bear and her cub--close-up photos.
