The Smoky Mountains

 On our first full day of the reunion we headed into the Smoky National Park.  We hiked the Clingman's Dome Trail.  It's the highest point in the Smoky Mountains.  The hike is short but steep.  It's supposed to have an amazing view, but unfortunately for us, it was completely foggy.  In fact, it got more foggy on the way down.  We were hopeful that it would clear up, but rain clouds were hanging around.  
On good days you're supposed to be able to see to Tennessee, but all we got was fog.


 The visitor's center was pretty cool as well as the hike.

Right outside the national park is Mingo Falls.  It's a quick 280 steps straight up to the waterfall.  


On the way back to Lake Junalooska we stopped at the American Museum of the House Cat.  My children were in love with the cats.  They particularly loved the 2 kittens.  Little Man said he felt like he was cheating on Stella and Luna.

It was a fun day in the Smokies!
