With so many places to see in the world, there's only so much time to see it all. Like many, it is my personal goal to see as many places as I can which in this case brought me to the Smokey Mountains. I found out many things on this trip and will highlight them through this article.
Adjustment.
Something great about the Smoky mountains is the altitude. Coming from the Midwest, it can be hard to adjust... however, the altitude isn't as high as the Rocky mountains making your trip easier to tackle. I didn't experience any ear popping or headaches which made the trip even more of a great surprise.
Mountains and trees and bears!
There are so many sites to see from waterfalls to rushing white waters throughout the national park. Above these things, I personally like to see wildlife. After seeing more turkey than I could dream of, I was hungry for more which is when I heard of people seeing bears! This landed us on the road and heading towards Cade's cove which is where in fact, we saw a bear.
Views.
Where as in many places you have to hike to see a view, in the Smoky mountains that isn't the case. Pull off areas on the road such as by the Chimney Tops allow for the perfect view without the long walk.
Will your next trip be to the Smokies? I suppose we will wait and see.
