If you can find ANY time to make your way to the Smokies in the next couple weeks, just do it! The wildflowers are blooming prolifically and you will be thrilled that you made it a priority. These often tiny spring ephemerals decorate the trails and roadsides almost anywhere you go, but there are some locations that will "knock your hat in the creek!"
Trails or sites I can personally recommend are:
- Chestnut Top Trail
- White Oak Sinks (off of Schoolhouse Gap Trail)
- Cove Hardwood Nature Trail (at the Chimneys Picnic Area)
- Porters Creek Trail
- Baskin's Creek Trail
There are many more, but these are my favorites. I took a quick trip up on Sunday to Chestnut Top Trail and took these shots in just an hour or so with my trusty point and shoot Fuji XP. Imagine what a real photographer could do with such beautiful subjects, but more importantly, imagine what you'll be missing if you don't go!
