Today was spent on the mountain! Cades Cove loop and highest point late afternoon!

Absolutely beautiful! This type of scene is why I named my SmugMug site "Mountain Waves"!!! I actually backpacked in that area many years ago with Outward Bound; you should see it when the rhododendrons are in bloom!

I could find only one picture from that era with the beautiful pink rhododendrons...pictures were so expensive to take and develop back then

You are brave! I struggled on our 4 mile hike on Saturday and couldn't make it up to Observation Tower! Got 1/5 way up and decided I didn't want to have a heart attack way up there! And...vertigo hit me fast! Didn't feel to bad though when 2 twenty year olds walked back down with me! I was happy enough at the base of that climb! It is positively gorgeous up there!
