April is prime wildflower viewing time! We will explore a bit of the North Carolina side of the Smoky Mountains as we walk the road/trail alongside Bradley Fork to the Cabin Flats Trail. We will gain about 1200 ft over 4 miles, then a couple of hundred feet to Campsite #49. There we can enjoy lunch by a rushing stream before our return. The hike is 9.8 miles, rated moderate. Meet at the Bradley Fork Trailhead in the Smokemont Campground (far end) at 9:30 a.m. or carpool from Sugarlands Visitor Center, leaving promptly at 8:30 a.m. Park away from the restrooms, leaving the spaces for the tourists. Carpool 54 miles roundtrip @ $0.07 = $3.78 to the driver (round to $4).
