I'm off on a plane to Colorado this afternoon, but we managed to squeeze in a quick hike in the morning. Beautiful weather, and thus the trail was crowded. The mountain laurels are starting to bloom. We got a question which I love to answer. Is this trail just an out and back? Ha! I explained that the trail goes from the Smokies to the ocean, but they probably would want to turn around at Haw Creek Overlook :)
