The early morning sun greets us on a beautiful fall day in the Smokies. Clingmans Dome Road, GSMNP
Every autumn we love to hike trails with untouched, freshly fallen leaves. We simply can't resist the warm glow of the sunlight as it streams through the trees, the ground, wet from the lingering morning dew... the musty smell of the damp forest, and that exhilarating aroma, heightening our senses into overdrive. That's our definition of the truest essence of fall. Roaring Fork, GSMNP
