On this joint outing for TCWP and TNPS, we will have an excellent opportunity to see spring wildflowers. We’ll meet at the Frozen Head State Park office at 8:30 Eastern, and will hike from the Panther Branch Trailhead. The first 0.55 mile is ideal for those with rather limited hiking capabilities; the trail is wide and flat. For those continuing, the next 1 mile along Panther Branch is steeper and rougher, but still only moderate. Panther Branch is a place to see dwarf ginseng (Panax trifolius). The early start time is in hopes of finding more parking at the trailhead. Bring water, a lunch, and bug spray.
Hike leader will be Larry Pounds. Your RSVP helps with planning and allows contacting in case of cancelation. Phone/email: 865-705-8516, PoundsL471@aol.com
