Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes)

Walk shaded forest trails, cross wooden bridges, and follow streams, ponds and small waterfalls as you climb the scenic pathways. In summer (June–September) thousands of Jersey tiger moths cluster on the tree trunks. It is a peaceful, cool and green place, with sweetgum trees, fresh mountain air, quiet walking paths and small lakes and streams.
