The trail. We started on one and joined on to the other at the bottom.

That is me with my pack on (as if you hadn't already guessed).

This is what a lot of the trail looked like. It was beautiful. The leaves were crunchy so it was quite noisy...my ears were ringing when we finished each day.

A classic example of why they call them the Smoky Mountains.

A nice panoramic of the area. We were in Tennessee, but the far reaches of this picture show North Carolina.

It was a gorgeous day to be hiking.

The colors were more amazing than this photo gives them credit

The nice rolling hills.
