Slaty Fork and Cranberry Wilderness

Yesterday we hiked in the Cranberry Wilderness on the Cowpasture Loop. Lots of environmental diversity. We hiked through upland bog, mature conifer forest and upland meadows.

Here is a look out over the Cranberry glades from an observation deck

Muddy Shoes but the hike was awesome
