The bridge over Interstate 26. Spring is showing along the Tweetsie Trail. During a pleasant Spring day last Sunday, people took to the trail, riding bicycles, running or walking.

The trail, located in Johnson City, offered an incredible sight as the warmth of spring overtakes the cold of winter. The trail stretches from the edge of Johnson City into Carter County and Elizabethton.
