Hiking Meigs Mountain Trail is a little harder than I originally anticipated. It's a steady uphill that plunges sharply down into the Kings Branch Camp at about 3 miles. The issue is you have to turn around and climb back up that 500 foot descent.
Being in the Elkmont area this is a good wildflower trail in the spring. Lots of violets, some Fraser's sedge, and the only place I've seen trout lilies in the park thus far. Trout lilies are so slow growing they take seven years to flower, so finding large areas of them is nice.
