Virgin Forest above Laurel Falls

Virgin Forest above Laurel Falls

To the best of my knowledge, the most accessible patch of virgin (old-growth) forest in the Smokies is above Laurel Falls. To get there, follow the crowds to Laurel Falls. Enjoy the spot. Then abandon the crowds by going another half-mile up the trail. It's no longer paved, it's a little steeper, and it opens up into a stretch of tall trees. No leaves on this one yet, though it was starting to bud. April 2010.
