Smoky Mountains....

I now see why they call the Smoky Mountains, The Smoky Mountains.... Ok, so maybe taking pictures while your driving at 4825 feet above sea level isn't the best idea, but I got a few cool shots doing it!

Saturday was our day to drive up the big hill. It started out around 60 degrees and overcast so we thought it would be a decent day for the trip. About half way up the hill we started to hit the fog and never saw the light of day again until we came back down below the fog. It was still a cool trip though and cannot wait to try again some time soon. When we reached the top, it was next to zero visibility and had dropped down to 40 degrees....

This next shot was taken once we were back down out of the fog line. There are cool little creeks and other photo ops like this all over the place. There are also plenty of pull off areas along the route to park your car and walk around a bit. It's really an amazing place!

The drive home on Sunday was clear as could be and I was able stop at a spot I saw on the way in to Knoxville to get a couple cool shots of a rock face I liked.... So I pulled over, put on the 4 ways, hopped the guard rail and climbed down over the hill to get this next shot....

If you would like to see all the pictures from the shoot, click the link below and go to Smoky Mountains in the gallery tab.... Thanks for stopping by once again, hope you enjoyed the trip! http://t1photo.ifp3.com/root/t1photo/iphoto/main2.cfm
