Virgin Forest

Virgin Forest

Almost all of the Great Smoky Mountains were logged out before they became a park. There are only a few stands of virgin forest remaining among all the second-growth. This one is probably the easiest to get to. Follow the crowds to Laurel Falls, and then keep going about a half mile above the falls. The mood changes when you're here. Old growth is different.
