Great Smoky Mountains National Park

These are just some shots from our excursion to Cataloochee on Tuesday of this week.  It was such a gorgeous day in WNC and Cataloochee is a beautiful and interesting place.  There is a film at the Palmer House that was put together by people who actually lived in the valley, and you can visit all the various buildings that are still standing.



 There is an overlook here where you can stop and view the valley from above.  The drive to this area is exciting, to say the least.  Often only a one-lane gravel road so you have to be careful of oncoming traffic.  Surely wouldn't want to fall or be pushed off this road either.  When we reached the overlook, the road was once more paved and marked--a sigh of relief.  We saw several hunters along the way and we stopped to ask one of the trucks what they were hunting, only to find that they were hunting for their lost dogs.


We love the NC mountains and certainly enjoyed this trip to Cataloochee.  Go there to see for yourself--well-worth the trip.
