Description: This is a joint outing for TNPS and TCWP. We will have an excellent opportunity to see spring wildflowers. This will be a switch from last year. We will start from Panther Branch Trailhead. The first 0.55 miles is ideal for those with rather limited hiking capabilities; the trail is wide and flat. For those continuing the next 1 mile along Panther Branch is steeper and rougher but still only moderate. Panther Branch is a place to see dwarf ginseng (Panax trifolius).

Meeting Place/Time: Frozen Head State Park office parking area at 10 am Eastern.

Difficulty: Moderate from 1.1 to 3 miles

Lunch: Bring water, lunch, and bug spray

Facilities: At meeting place
