Hiking in the Smokies

We hiked out the Abrams Creek trail to the Abrams Falls & then beyond until the trail crossed the very rain swollen creek so we re-traced our hike back to the Cade’s Cove trail head. 8.4 miles total round trip. Very warm could of hiked in short & t-shirts. Suburban camped & stayed out of the rain that hit early this AM. Spending time in Townsend today. Snow & freezing rain on the way.
