One of the fields becoming overgrown as the forest recovers.

The trail is rocky and uneven as it climbs towards Russell Field Shelter.

The final uphill push to the shelter is really rocky, and can be a stream if its been raining.

Russell Field Shelter.

Trail in the clouds. While parts of the trail can be clear, others can be shrouded by fog, part of the reason the area is known as the Smokies.

The trail moving uphill as it begins to climb Leadbetter Ridge.

These log crossings can be slippery and mossy. Here, the footlog crosses the Left Prong.
