You can get to this road from Townsend, TN, by turning on Old Cades Cove Road and following it to the horse farm. Old CAdes Cove Road stays to the right, and you turn left, following the signs to Tuckaleechee Caverns. Continue on that road, past the caverns, until you come to a stop sign. Turn left on Schoolhouse Gap Raod, and park at the small area just before the road turns to gravel. You can hike up this road until it comes to the boundary for the Smokies.

Besides the wildflowers we saw that I photographed, we also saw wood anemone, rue anemone, chickweed, silverbell, pussytoes, shooting stars,and Virginia bluebells (see my "Garden Wildflower" album for photos of these last two).
