Albright Grove is a .7mi loop trail through a section of old growth forest. It begins 3mi into the Maddron Bald trail. The largest Tulip Poplar in the Smokies is here along with lots of other large and impressive trees.

10/23/2004 - Hiked to the grove, measured some trees, bushwhacked down Indian Camp Creek for about half the hike back out.
