hiking the Great Smokies

This past week I went hiking in the Smoky Mountains. Specifically the section around the Gatlinburg, Tennessee/ North Carolina area. Here's just a few pictures of how beautiful the place was.

that's Mt. LeConte in the back, which we hiked up on our last day. The elevation is 6593 feet and one of the most beautiful hikes I can imagine.

This drop off on Mt. LeConte was one of the prettiest/most nerve racking parts of the whole climb. The actual part you hiked on is out of the frame on the right side with a cable to hold onto so you don't slip on the rocks.
