When we are in the Pigeon Forge area I always like to make a trip to the top of the smokie Mountains. I have been to the top more times ten you can count on your fingers and toes. I never get tired of the view from the top. So yesterday was the day to go.
Of course we had to drive through Pigeon Forge. There is a new attraction with "King Kong". Of couse the building is scaled down,but old kong is still very large.
The photo was taken through the windshield so kind of faded out. It was slow moving through town with everyone looking at the old cars and trucks.
The car show is called Shades of the past. You will see every old car ever made here.
It didn't take long getting through Gatlingburg. I guess most of the people were in Pigeon Forge looking at the old cars. Soon we were in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
It got cooler as we went up the mountain. There are a few wild flowers still hanging on in the mountains.
It was a lot cooler beside the mountain stream,which is always running cold no matter how hot it is in the valley.
Then after a 15 mile drive it was time for the main attraction that brings millions of people to this spot. The breath taking view from the famous Smoky Mountains.
It was another great day in our travels If you ever get a chance treat yourself with a trip to the Smoky Mountain National Park. You won't be sorry that you did. You can hike the many trails or relax and soak your feet in a cool mountain stream.
Thanks for stopping by.
