One of the many perks about this time of year is being able to be outdoors without that sweltering summer heat beating down on you. Not only are the temperatures perfect, but the bugs are at bay and wildflowers begin to brighten up just about everywhere you look. The Wild Azalea Trail is the perfect hiking trail in Louisiana for anyone looking to surround themselves with beautiful blooms, and they should be popping pretty soon.
Located in the Kisatchie National Forest, the Wild Azalea Trail is the longest primitive trail in the state.
The trail crosses paths with a few other trails within the forest, so be sure to check your blazes every so often so that you don't end up accidentally wandering onto a different trail.
There are many places along the trail where you can pull off and pitch a tent. Just make sure to pack out what you pack in so that this natural oasis can be enjoyed for many years to come.
