First view of the Little Greenbriar School at Metcalfe Bottoms. Looking over the cemetary. The schoolhouse must have also been the church.

Please visit the original post at Leedra's Photos For Fun to see more photographs, including some inside the schoolhouse.

Metcalfe Bottoms in GSMNP trails and roadways

The first 2 photographs are on a walking path, on the back side of the water, close to the Metcalfe Bottoms picnic area.

The last 2 photgraphs are on the one lane roadway to the Metcalfe Bottoms schoolhouse. It is one lane, but 2 way traffic. Just had to stop to photograph. If you have visited very long you know I love the old country lanes with trees on both sides.

And these just a hint of fall colors showing. This was the last day I was able to go to the GSMNP during the fall colors this year.

I go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park fairly often. I don't remember ever turning into the picnic area of Metcalfe Bottoms.

I was in for a nice surprise, and have several post to share.

These four were taken across the water from the parking lot.

The last 2 were from the same spot.
