Fun in the Smokies

If you've ever been to Tn, you've probably been to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, which just so happens to be right in my back yard.

There's lots of stuff to do from hiking trails, to skiing, to the fabulous mountain town of Gatlinburg and of course, who can forget Dollywood...:)

Monday, my son and I decided to do a winter hike. We'd been cooped up in the house and wanted to get out for a bit. It was a gorgeous day with a stunning blue sky.





The trail was fairly easy...okay, I lied. It was hard..lol. 2,7 miles and every bit of it uphill!!! Ugh!! But that's okay. We needed to exercise...:) Although I could've done without the mud.



And the fallen trees we had to climb over.



But other than that, we had a really good time. Check out the beautiful falls we saw along the way.






Yep, that's ice on that last one. It was cool at the bottom, but it was downright cold at the top..lol

If you're ever in my neck of the woods, check out the Smokey Mountains and the Rainbow Falls hike. You'll be glad you did..:)

Unless of course all the mud sucks you under...lol
