Great Smoky Mountains 2018

Our trip was timed for watching synchronous fireflies (Photinus carolinus), blooming flame azaleas (Rhododendron calendulaceum), mountain laurels (Kalmia latifolia) and even some rhododendrons (Rhododendron maximum). The weather was warm and humid, but only a few hours of continuous rain. Hike completed in 2018: from Elkmont to Tremont by car âžœ Spence Field 110 âžœ Mollies Ridge 112 âžœ Sheep Pen Gap 13 âžœ Spence Field 110 âžœ Derrick Knob 109 âžœ Marks Cove 28  âžœ Tremont West Prong trailhead.

We had good time hiking in Smokys, this time and in 2015  â˜ž Mammoth Cave & Smoky Mountains. We enjoyed shorter side-walks as well and altogether walked 143  km, 6.8 km  total ascent, on 3 longer trails including two multi-day hikes (map).
