A Special Place 
Show and tell about places in nature that were, or are, important to you. Big majestic places, or everyday places.

Big Frog Mountain, Cherokee National Forest, TN

Who: Jason
Where: Big Frog Mountain, Cherokee National Forest, TN

Why: Big Frog Mountain is one of the most unusual hikes you can take in the Ocoee region of SE Tennessee. My favorite part is the rhododendron tunnel--a stretch of rhododendrons close to the top that completely enclose the trail so as to make it a tunnel. It lasts for about 100 yards and in the spring/summer is like passing through the gates to heaven. It was always a special place for me because of its beauty and because it was close to the summit!
