RADNOR LAKE STATE NATURE AREA

I spent some time recently at a beautiful little area at Radnor Lake. The Radnor Lake State Nature Area is a wonderful park with an abundance of wildlife, trails, flowers, and friendly people. It is located in what is considered the traditional borders of the city of Nashville. The trails range from Easy to Difficult although none of the trails are longer than 1.5 miles.

GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

I love the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP)! It is one of my favorite places to vacation. It contains some very amazing vistas and thousands of miles of trails, including over 70 miles of the Appalachian Trail.

 At the western foot of the GSMNP is located the city of Gatlinburg. It is a regular tourist town good for "people watching." Although the traffic is bad through the narrow streets, the stand is not that long and very easy to walk.
