More Gatlinburg


Tuesday


It rained, but we still enjoyed some sightseeing. We drove about 23 miles up into the mountains to go to Clingsman Dome. A lookout that the Cherokee used. You can usually see for miles, but not that day. you'll see why in the pics. We also stopped at the Newfound Gap which also has beautiful views and contains the TN, NC border. Here are some of the pic from that day.
Our "view" from Clingman's Dome. It was so foggy and cold that we didn't hike to the top
Greg and I freezing. It had to be 40 degrees up there. We were not prepared.

Newfound Gap (also very foggy) Toby enjoying the fireplace. His favorite spot in the house.
Tuckered out from our day of exploring.





Wednesday

On Wednesday we went on a motor nature trail just in case it rained. It turned out to be a great morning so we were able to get out and hike 1.7 miles to the Grotto Falls. It was beautiful! And the hike was lots of fun, we even saw some bear tracks.


Toby asleep again! This time it was Daddy's turn to carry him.
This is the path we hiked. A little rocky.
