magicmomma > Sams Creek Manway in the Smokies
This was one of the spots I went hiking hunting for wildflowers unsuccessfully.
It is a great place for wildflowers in season.

magicmomma > View of Sams Creek through the trees. I am up in the crotch of a tree taking photos through the leaves.
Since we found no wildflowers we decided to discontinue the search and check out some waterfalls instead.

magicmomma > Waterfall on Middle Prong Trail
The Spring rains and snow melt makes this a peak season for waterfall watching.
It is an excellent pastime while waiting for wildflowers to pop each year.

magicmomma > White Oak Flats Cascade was a new location for us. An off trail waterfall with an extremely short and easy hike!
Not a huge falls, but very scenic. We took a Saturday and hiked up Sams Creek and when we didn't see any flowers...... we went waterfalling instead.
