Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

More creekside cascades

From the parkway this is what you are enticed to see.

I was glad that no hikers had parked along the road, so I could approach it and see more with each step.


But the hike up along the creek starts with a nice flow of mud and leaves where seepage has decided to create another stream-bed.  The water enters the hiking area where the stone with a short angled stick probed into the wet ground can be seen at the top of the mud.
