The Sulfur Springs Trail is about 4 miles of hiking through Paris Mountain State Park. It is one of the more difficult of the hikes in the area, but it provides a wide variety of scenery, from creeks to waterfalls to grand vistas across the surrounding foothills. These images were taken in mid-December, so they are not as green as this trail must be during the spring and summer, but it was still a beautiful trip.
I got fascinated by the texture of the rock faces along the trail. The complexity of the stone intertwined with moss and trees continually caught my eye. The remnants of this old dam looked a bit castle-like. This tree trunk twists across the trail. Another view, showing how twisted the trunk is. One of two images of trees with interesting growths. Strangely cerebral The trail was chock full of little hidden places like this. This image emphasizes the bleakly beautiful landscape. I was wowed by the colors throughout this stone outcropping along the second half of the trail. The last leg of the trail wound back and forth as it came down off the mountain.
