Trailhead Footbridge

Prints available here.

A few miles further into the Smoky Mountains beyond the Old Wooden Bridge, at the end of a dirt road, visitors arrive at this footbridge marking the trailhead of Middle Prong Trail. It also marks the end of Lynn Camp Prong, which, when merged with Thunderhead Prong (unseen, this side and right of the footbridge), becomes Middle Prong Little River, shown here.

I took this photograph yesterday evening, two hours after rain and while (carefully) standing on a broad, moss-covered rock in the river.

And, to better appreciate the beauty of the area, I’ve also included this video, taken with my iPhone. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

    Wow! Absolutely gorgeous, Phil! Those rocks do look a bit slippery, please be extra careful! 😍

      Thank a bunch, dear Tiffany! Indeed, there are few surfaces as slippery as river rocks following rain, so I always seek to move with great deliberation, cautiously. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday, my friend! 😍
