We took a jaunt this afternoon down the Parkway to Graveyard Fields. Apparently there was a fire in the area years ago and plantlife has never fully recovered in this small area: nearly no trees. We had heard others talk about visiting here, but had not gotten around to it until today. The weather was great: a nice warm front had raised temps throughout the area, including the upper elevations on the Parkway.
This area is on a river, with a couple of nice falls, and plenty of places to crawl around. There is a longer trail that explores area away from the river, and another that links up with the Mountain to Sea Trail. We went for the immediate gratification near the water. It was an easy walk to the lower falls. In warmer weather it might be possible to splash around in the pool at the bottom. We also walked around a bit, trying to not disturb the fishers. It was about an hour to get there using the Parkway as our main route.
