April marks the Get on Trail W Friends & missy wildflower hikes. Even tho spring came early the flowers and extremely vivid greens etc are wonderful. First stop West Prong out of Tremont. Ken Voorhis the Tremont director met us along with Friends of Smokies Dir Jim Hart. We had 55 and stopped first at the Walker cemetary and Ken told us some of the history and folklore of the area. Then we headed out (more like groups of 5-8 at a time not all bunched up ) and the west prong trail has some climbing at beginning but not steep. It had lots of drawfed Iris and other great flowers. The campsite right before Bote mountain interchange is such a great place for lunch/snack stop. All in all great hike (some added on Spruce Flats Falls afterwards).
