Just a few pics of Flats Mountain Trail (102) in Citico Wilderness. It is 6.1 miles from Eagle Gap on the Cherohala to Beehouse Gap. Once you begin your walk from the parking area, you will gain some elevation, but not a big deal. Then you will come across two "balds" or fields. At the first one, you will turn right into the forest and after a couple hundred yards will be at the second.
The first field perhaps 1/2 mile from Eagle Gap parking area
The second field perhaps three hundred yards from the first
The Wilderness Area sign used to be here...but its gone and now its just a bear toothpick!
Indian Boundary Lake can be seen from the trail just after the second field
Hemlock Wooly Adelgid on this Eastern Hemlock. My grandchildren will perhaps never see an Eastern Hemlock!
