Trillium and Thunder Ridge Overlook, Blue Ridge Mountains

  Our lunch spot, can you believe we had this area all to ourselves? Thunder Ridge is one of the more interesting overlooks, with a few nice picnic tables, a short walk to an overlook, and access to the AT.

   Trillium! I was hoping to see some of this beautiful wildflower, but initially thought I was either too early or too late. Then I drove past the Thunder Ridge area and saw them covering the forest floor. I guess I just had to be at a higher elevation.
