We spent today, August 15, in Smokey Mountains NP. After so many days traveling in the Midwest, it was so nice to see green again.
I loved the mountains covered with trees, and the beautiful green vines draping the rocks along the road. There were rivers following the road through the park with nice big "hopping rocks" scattered throughout the water. I'll never forget the last time I tried hopping across a river on the rocks....I slipped and fell in! We were geocaching with friends Pam and Jim, and boy was the water cold!
We took a road in the park 7 miles off the main road to Clingman's Dome. What a great spot. We walked up another half mile once we got there to the dome....and then went up the dome. You can see 360 degrees and view all the mountains on a clear day. Today, the Smokey's were living up to their name, and we were in the clouds.
We had a great time in the park today. Tomorrow, we will be in Maggie Valley, NC checking on our property, and then want to spend time visiting with old friends in the area.
