There is an area up in the Mountains thats always been special to me, about an hour drive and the another 1.8 mile walk before the trail ends and the climbing starts. I used go up there alot, but its been close to 10 years since my last trip.
I decided today I was going to take the time to go back,
The first creek crossing, about a mile in,

An interesting section of the trail, the Laurel forms a tunnel, its usually dark.
