Continuing our vacation at Great Smoky Mountains National Park....
Hiked to Grotto Falls today....so pretty!
The Smoky Mountains
We hiked about 8 miles on the Appalachian trail. Miss E thought the Maine destination looked good :)
Clingman's Dome which is the highest point in the park. You can drive up there and then take a steep half mile hike to this lookout. It was pretty impressive!
Hiking along the Appalachian trail was so beautiful, but it was also a pretty tough hike!
We hiked along the Appalachian trail to Charlie's Bunion which was the beautiful rock cliff. You could see forever! So beautiful. It was a full 8 miles out and back which was the longest hike we have ever done so far as a family. We have done a lot of shorter ones, but this was our longest. We were all very sore and tired, but proud of ourselves!
And this boy had a birthday while we were there! Happy 13th birthday Mr J!
There is a ski resort in the area that has an alpine slide and Mountain roller coaster which we enjoyed one day.
More pictures coming.....getting caught up....thanks for visiting!
Loving all the vacation pictures. It looks like a wonderful place to visit and explore. Those sleds looks super fun too.
