Burns Branch, Natchez Trace
You know how I love the Trace, so when Nate asked if we wanted to join him for a hike on the Trace, I was in! We left early this morning to beat the heat. There was a debate six miles or two and a half miles. Guess which won out! Yep the short one. I do not remember June being this humid last year. Yesterday it was 94 degrees with high humidity but today was a little cooler, but still humid. By the end of the hike we were dripping sweat.... At least I was!!
There was so much beauty in this short hike. It is truly amazing to see the variety of mushroom/fungi. I am not a biologist, but I truly enjoyed the different structures and colors
The eyes of the forest are watching!!
Amazing what you see!

Wow, very interesting!
Were you hiking on the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail that passes by Burns Branch?
Burns Branch pictures, location and map.
We took the hiking trail at the Burns Branch parking lot which took us to the Tennessee Valley Divide parking area. I believe there were four trail to choose from. This was the shortest at 1.4 miles (with return, 2.8) very easy walking.
By the way, thanks for the link. Have you been on the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail? Garrison Creek and Old Natchez were also connected to the Burns Branch by hiking trails along the Trace.
