June 11 Metcalf Bottoms and Little Brier Gap Trails


When you are attempting to hike all the trails in the park, you have to hike these gravel roads called trails. They are loaded with folks you would not see on most park trails. That especially goes for the baby stroller I saw.

The two attractions here that bring on the folks are the schoolhouse and to a lesser extent, the Walker sisters cabin. I've seen photos of the Walker sisters. No wonder most of them never married.


I was impressed by the size of the wood used to construct the cabin and other buildings. Like most other park cabins, it is dark and dank inside. It probably really smelled bad too.
