Trillium Gap Trail to Grotto Falls

Steve, Betsy, Jon, Cindy, and I made the 1.2 mile hike to Grotto Falls on the Trillium Gap Trail on Friday. Unfortunately, Patty wasn't feeling up to a hike, and Terry and Debbie hadn't yet arrived. There were traces of snow on the ground as we left Gatlinburg up toward the Roaring Fork Motor Trail and the Trillium Gap trailhead, but as we rose up into the higher elevations, the snow became more and more persistant, and soon past Cherokee Orchard the ground was completely covered with snow. It was a beautiful day.
