Frozen Head State Park / by Dave Hileman

About an hour drive Northwest of Knoxville, Tennessee, in the Cumberland Mountains. is Frozen Head State Park. It is named for the dew that often freezes across the peaks, several over 3000 feet, in the region. The park is rustic and the forest full of lush growth and streams. Jill and I had a lovely picnic and then hiked a trail to two falls, this is the first, Debord Falls on the Panther Branch Trail. It was a nice day, warm but not hot and still lots of wildflowers along the trail. This is but one of lots of options at the park.
