Double Springs / Osborne Farm

Our first AT hike of the year, we drove to northeast Tennessee and hiked three miles up to Double Springs Shelter from TN 91.
The lower portion of this hike crosses the Osborne Farm which is in trust to the A.T. This includes a couple stile crossings of pastureland.

After the farm the trail is wooded and winds up the ridge. Double Springs shelter is just barely off the trail.
