From Callaway Gardens website:
The Laurel Springs Trail loops through an excellent example of an Appalachian hardwood forest and a mountain laurel thicket along the slope of Pine Mountain Ridge. This rustic trail offers a moderately challenging walk in a secluded setting. Walkers follow the edge of Laurel Springs Creek to its headspring at the base of a large tulip tree. Interpretation allows a self-guided tour along the trail. The trees along the Pine Mountain Ridge were once predominantly longleaf pine. Today, along this trail you see what is primarily an oak and hickory forest. Hollis Quartzite, which is showcased in much of the original architecture at Callaway (especially the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel and the Callaway Gardens Country Store), can be found along the trail.
This cache has been placed in cooperation with the Education Department at Callaway Gardens. For more information about geocaching at Callaway Gardens contact the Education Department at education@callawaygardens.com
