Winding one lane road along Middle Prong Little River in the Tremont area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. This was originally a railroad bed for the Little River Lumber Co. About 2/3 of the park was purchased from lumber companies. Little River Lumber created a logging town here at Tremont as well as Elkmont and Townsend. They logged in this area for about 3 decades. The last lumber was removed from here in about 1938. There is a Auto Tour Guide for this area that will explain much of the logging operation if you ever visit. Before becoming the park about a billion broad feet of lumber was removed from the Smokies.

As you know by now, I just love scenes like this. I love the glowing green and the texture of the bark. The road meandering away is a nice touch. Well done.
nice work…great mood
Superb shot with excellent mood, Gary.
So beautiful & serene. reminds me of our trips through Mammoth Cave, KY.
Great rustic feel and tonal range!
How I would love to travel this road! Amazing shot… Timeless.
Oh this is my kind of road! I’m rather fond of trees – they’re like big guardians, and to have so many of them! So green too! Love the wiggle of the road off into the distance. Great shot!
Lovely
Beautiful and so inviting!
Seems like a place to head, if it wasn’t for the darn price of gas going up… well have to hike it..
