One of the easiest high country hikes here in Northeast Tennessee is in nearby Greene County, in Cherokee National Forest along Camp Creek and Firescald Knob. Here are a few views of autumn along this high ridge...
Here's the view from Black Stack Cliffs - autumn colors beginning to fade, and Greeneville TN visible in the distance.
And the somewhat wilder view from nearby White Rock...
Although autumn foliage was well past peak color, nearby Jones Meadow was still blooming, and late-season insects were feasting. Here's a honeybee enjoying the white asters.
And this Clouded Sulphur was snacking on red clover nectar...
Hope you will be able to enjoy this hike for yourself someday soon! Thanks so much for any comments and critique.
