I Often Have A Hard Time Picking Favorites, Especially When It Comes To Nature But, The Balsam Trail

I often have a hard time picking favorites, especially when it comes to nature… but, the Balsam Trail at Mt. Mitchell is absolutely my favorite I’ve hiked in the Appalachians. It’s the most unique trail - completely different from anything you’d ever see in this region of the world. Stepping from the peak of the tallest mountain in the Appalachians, and into the threshold of the Balsam Trail - it teleports you. The fog you see in the background is no fog, we’re in a cloud 6,684 ft in the sky. Pisgah National Forest has a huge piece of my heart.

Along the Balsam Trail at the top of Mt. Mitchell, I captured something - an elder of the trees laid to rest.

You’re telling me my synchronous firefly post has been on private this whole time? Well… enjoy the show. This was one of the most incredible experiences. I’m glad I got a video, but it could never do the sight justice.

The Synchronous Fireflies. If you watch the forest fade into black here, you can truly see the amazing phenomenon and why these fireflies have the name they do. No picture or video I took last night could even come close to capture how magical the Congaree forest was last night. We were surrounded by tens of thousands fireflies dancing above the forest floor. My camera only piked up on a fraction.

This only happens in two known places in the world. The Smoky Mountain Nation Park and Congaree National Park and lasts around a 3 week period. What an amazing thing to see.
