There isn't a better way to spend Valentines Day then in the Smoky Mountains.





Middle Prong is a beautiful walk along the river.  There is a steady incline but not too challenging.  Once you get to Greenbrier the incline is much steeper. 


















The hike was made a little more challenging because of the ice along the trail and quite a few downed trees.  The frozen waterfalls were definitely a highlight of the day.







We did see some cool artifacts at the old homesite.





The creek crossings once you get to Greenbrier are a little challenging, probably much easier in the warmer weather.  We had to add some rocks and a tree to this crossing to get across.



All in all, a beautiful day on the mountain.










On to the next adventure!
