May 27 Little Wilson Creek Wilderness




Another short hike of about 8 miles. This one I started and ended at my campsite at Grayson Highlands State Park. There was a few miles along the AT and then into the Little Wilson Creek Wilderness on what turned out to be horse trails. Horse trails can be problematic. These were lightly used and not so bad for a hike. I ran into 2 bears. Both ambled away when I approached.

There was one creek I decided to wade barefoot across rather than risk a bad rock hop. I saw some Lady Slippers and lots of Flame Azalea and Rhododendron was in bloom.
