Old Settlers Trail

5/20/2015  As we have done more hiking, we keep discovering new trails to explore.  The Old Settlers Trail is in the Cosby area, and is not heavily used. In fact, the 5 (Steve & I, Hank, Grady and Sam) of us didn't see another hiker the entire day. 
The mountain laurel were in full bloom.

There was lots of evidence of prior homes, rock walls, and other signs of the community that was here before the park was formed.


The entire trail is about 15 miles long, and we only hiked about 2.5 miles of it.  Eventually, we'll get to the rest of it.

Mountain laurel is my favorite wild flower. It grew all over the mountain behind my grandfather's house.
