Today I headed over to the Cosby area of the park to hike the Maddron Bald Trail. The trailhead is located on 321 a few miles from Cosby. If you get to Jellystone, you just missed it.
The trail starts on a gravel road. About 0.5 miles up the trail is a nice cabin.
Most of the trail is near a creek that must be crossed multiple times on the hike.
About 3.7 miles up the trail, you reach the Albright Grove Loop. It is a walk through the woods with some big trees. Shortly after leaving Albright, the trail started getting narrow and overgrown. There were some nice flowers.
About 3 miles from Albright Grove, the trail reaches the Bald where there are some nice views.
There were also Blueberries which were awesome!
At the Snake Den Ridge Trail, I turned around and headed back down.
Back close to Albright, I found some nice blackberries. These are just a few of the many I found.
After Albright, there were about 3 semi difficult creek crossings. The 1st one was the worst one. The hike did have a significant climb from about 1900' to 5400'. I left the car at 12:20 and was back at the car at 6:15.
