My son and I decided to take a road trip to the mountains and make the trip a photo safari. Included here are the many photos of the scenery we saw and photographed during this road trip and hiking adventure. I hope you enjoy the gallery and realize the many miles of driving and hiking involved in these photos, also take a few moments to reflect on this great country and the many wonders she contains! We began with a trip to Boone, NC and then to Grandfather Mountain. From there we drove to Linville Falls and hiked both the trails leading to the falls. Then off to Gatlinburg, TN and a visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. From there we headed South through Cherokee, NC and then down Hwy 274 to Looking Glass Falls. Great amounts of driving were done on the splended Blue Ridge Parkway. Just a reminder to appreciate what we have, take the time to slow down and enjoy them, and there is no better way to spend time than with ones own family. All of these images are copyright protected.
