The Great Smokey Mountains

Early last fall we had the privilege of spending a few days in The Great Smokey Mountains.  I  immediately fell in love with it’s magnificent beauty. I am by far a professional photographer, but I wanted to share a few pictures we took with our phones while there.

If you ever get a chance to go you must not forget to climb up to Cling-mans Dome.  It was fantastic and this is coming from the girl that’s completely scared of heights.

Great Smoky Mountain National Park

Next stop a little hiking!  We didn’t get to explore much of the park, because we had our fur kids with us.  Due to bears dogs aren’t allowed on many trails.  We were kinda bummed, but understood!

Last but not least we ran into part of the Appalachian Trail.  One day I will would love to do a through hike on this fierce trail.

Those are our happy faces!

I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the Park.  We have many more camping, hiking and Park Adventures to share.
