Laurel Falls

Today I took the 2.6 mile hike to Laurel Falls. Unfortunately, this is spring break for a lot of school age people so the falls and the trail to it were very crowded. This made it difficult to take good shots of the falls without a lot of people in them. However, I believe I was successful. Today is our last day in the Smoky Mountains. Tomorrow we head to North Carolina for a couple of weeks. I’m going to miss this place. Even with all of the people who visit this park, there’s still a very quiet and calming feeling I get while here. Along with good photo opportunities, I’m always looking for the peace and tranquility that only nature can provide.

  1. Some of those newer turtle shots remind me of Morla, The Ancient One, in The NeverEnding Story movie from when I was a kid. Great shots Dennis, hope all is well in retirement land!

    1. We’re doing well. Sunday we begin our journey north. First stop the newest national park, the New River Gorge in West Virginia. From there we’ll make our way through Pennsylvania and New York to the New England states.
