magicmomma > These Canada lilies are one of my favorite flowers and I was not expecting to find them today. It was a total surprise and blessing. They are not 'rare' in Tennessee but are thinly scattered. They are more northernly species and are common up in the cooler climates.  Only the 2nd time ever that I've seen them for myself. Found a large colony of them in peak bloom!

magicmomma > Elevation profile of Honey Creek Loop Trail done by Justin Acuff.  This trail is only supposed to be 5.2 miles and 460 miles elevation gain.  That is false. It is closer to 6 miles round trip. The total elevation gain is 2500 ft more or less since it is constantly up and down on rugged, rocky terrain and ladders at times!  There are 4 side canyons that connect with this trail.  The hardest 5 or 6 miles we'd ever done!

magicmomma > The red arrow indicates the bluff line of the Cumberland Plateau.  The entire area is like this. 
They'd be called canyons out west, but here they are called gorges or gulfs.
