Diet And Travel

  I am linking up with Fiona's Green Day  and Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend 

These are some archived shots from our visit to the Great Smoky National Park back in October. These shots were taken on our last full day at the park and during our ride on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail.


You can click on the photos for larger viewing


It was a little foggy during our early morning visit, I think it adds a little mystery to the scenes.


A very pretty green and lush part of the park.




There were various trails, were you can hike to the waterfalls. Another beautiful spot in the park.


The Great Smoky National Park is a beautiful place to visit and we enjoyed our visit. Thanks for stopping by to see my post.

Thanks for stopping by to see my post and thanks to Fiona for hosting Green Day  and to Linses Cotton for hosting Scenic Weekends.  I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.  

 

Above are shots of the Grotto Falls, A Dark-eyed Junco, Fall colors, Cades Cove horses, Wild Turkey, behind Grotto Falls, Smoky Mountain colors, deer, Cades Cove.



On our first full day, hubby and I drove to the Roaring Fork Motor Drive and headed for the parking lot for the Grotto Falls before it got too crowded. At the beginning of the drive we saw a black bear, I did manage a blurry photo before the park ranger clapped it away. We did the 2.6 mile roundtrip hike to the waterfall. I even walked behind the waterfall, a first for me after many different waterfall visits.

 

I was checking out the color along the Grotto Falls trail.

Later in the day we headed to the Cades Cove drive, here we saw horses, wild turkeys and some deer.  It was very crowded and took a while to do the 11 miles of the motor tour.

 

Some of the pretty Smoky Mountain colors.

 

Since, the birds were hiding from me and my camera I decided to take some shots of the horses. They are pretty.

I was happy hearing and seeing the birds moving quickly all along this Grotto Falls trail. It was very birdy trail, just not a good day for taking bird photos.  I hope you enjoyed hiking to the waterfall with me and seeing the Cades Cove Horses.

Thanks for the visit, enjoy your day!
