In this video I hike the three knobs trail just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Deer Lick Gap overlook in Western North Carolina. This is a very easy hike through a beautiful forest that turns gold, red, and vivid orange during the second or third week of October. I grew up about one half mile from the trailhead. On this hike you'll see lots of beautiful and interesting trees, wildflowers, rhododendron, ferns, galax and other Appalachian mountain plants. My brother Tim has encountered a bear on this trail, though I have only seen squirrels, wild turkeys and deer. This is part 1 of 4 parts in this hike series of videos.
