Today I took a trip of a lifetime to the Smokies, with a group of 19 people, including me. The college which Dad works for set up the trip. Tom and Pat Cory (tomandpatcory.com) were our instructors.
After a couple hour drive in a very nice school bus, we arrived at our destination. First we stopped at Meiges Falls. It was a very nice waterfall you could see right from the road.

Then we drove on for a while, stopping for an hour and a half at the Chimneys, a place that had picnic tables, restrooms, a trail and a wonderful rollicking little stream. We photographed many wildflowers there, and therefore moved up the trail very slowly! ;)
Then we went on the a scenic view where you could get great postcard shots of mighty Mount Le Conte. That was very fun!
To finish up the day, we stopped for a while at a nice river, and also another scenic overlook.
Below are some of my best photos.
