The views of the Smokies are beautiful
The diversity of this park is just amazing.
Walking here is very hard, as the terrain is rocky and lots of ups and downs.
It was very foggy and rainy on this trip and the smokies lived up to their reputation
The Sun did come out occasionally and Christine was always ready to go. She had just come off of a season at Konnarock Trail Crew and was in great shape
After the weather the night sky was always amazing
For me, the small life, is always the most amazing
The blackberries were an added bonus, great taste, if you could get to them before the Black Bear!
I have been facinated by shelters. I always imagined sleeping in them when we day hiked, now I was going to spend 5 nights in them.
Most are nice, some are not!
Most are nice, some are not!
Most are put in very beautiful settings
In bear country you need to take special precautions, like hanging your food on bear lines high overhead at night
80 miles was a very tough hike, but it was very rewarding to finish.
