The Great Smoky Mountains

Our first pitstop: Clingman's Dome

At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is the highest point in Tennessee. The observation tower on the summit of Clingmans Dome offers spectacular 360° views of the Smokies and beyond. It's just a half mile hike to the dome, but mark my words that half mile will make you take many full breaks till you reach the top. The hike is actually steep, you gain around 300 foot elevation from base to top. Once you make it, it's worth. 

Our next pitstop was Cades Cove Loop

I must say cades cove exceeded everyone's expectation. Its a one way road, so only one car can go at a time and all the cars just follow it. A scenic drive with plenty of pull off spots to look for wildlife. We stopped our car lot of times and everyone was so humble that no one honked. First we opened slide door of our cars and drove for a while, then we opened car backdoor and two people were sitting there. I must say, it was just beautiful. Also special thanks kid girl for taking the wheel and giving me sometime off to enjoy the drive.

Abrams Falls Trail

On our way back we stopped for Abrams Falls trail. As we started going in, it was getting darker and darker which is not a good sign. Also we saw a baby bear there. Considering these two points, we thought, it's better to drop off this trail and go back. 

Pizza Hut

When you are hungry, what can be better than a Pizza - 4 Pizzas, because you cannot satisfy your hunger by drawing a piece of cake. So we parked our car in paid parking and had nice pizzas.

Old Time Photos

As we were roaming around town, we checked out this amazing thing called as Old Time Photos. There are little shops where you can pose in costumes from 80s. We can transform ourselves into a Cowboy, Western Gentleman or anything else we like within a minute.
