| G. Estes Phillips, son of S.D. and Minnie Phillips "Aseelp in Jesus" Engraving is misspelled. |
The cemetery is located about 6 miles up from Cosby and just a little ways off of The Lower Mount Cammerer Trail. The Phillips Cemetery is the second highest elevated known cemetery in the Park and is clearly visible from the trail in wintertime but could be easily missed in summer.
This was the first time I had encountered a cemetery as remote as this one. I had just began hiking
and the sight of such a beautiful and somber place had me hooked. It was love at first sight.
