This is great, because I hadn't previously planned a hiking trip to +the eastern half of the country, so having someone else pay for a hotel there +so we can go on a hiking trip sounded like a great deal and I am very thankful +I got to go here. + +It was a long drive, but it was worth it. We initially arrived in Pigeon Forge +to eat and stay for the night. Quite frankly I did not enjoy Pigeon Forge. I +like to travel to rural areas and escape the crowds, but this town was +basically a huge and very busy theme park. I'm sure many people enjoy this town +but it wasn't really for me. But it wasn't the focus of our trip anyways. We +came to hike, and hike we did, even though the trails were very busy and we had +trouble parking. + +The next morning we headed into Smoky Mountains National Park. I don't remember +the names of the trails we went on, but in addition to some extravagant fall +colors, we got to see some lovely rivers and waterfalls. They were fun hikes, +and were uphill enough to give us a workout. My sister's dog had a great time +on these trails too. We hiked a river trail after the first day, and before we +left the state, we also went to see Cherokee Lake. + +Cherokee Lake was accessible from a hiking trailhead near a neighborhood. We +traversed a pretty big segment of it's shoreline, and at one point found some +heavily eroded rocks that reminded me of [the Bisti +badlands](https://helixnebula.space/Bisti/). The water levels seemed like they +were much lower than what they used to be. + +At one point we drove up to an overlook that had a great view of Gatlinburg. I +don't remember all of the trip because it was quite a long time ago and I never +wrote about it, but I did enjoy it. If I ever go back myself, I intend to stay +a lot longer than we did that time. diff --git a/metadata.json b/metadata.json index bb422a8..05a85ab 100644 --- a/metadata.json +++ b/metadata.json @@ -226,7 +226,12 @@ }, "Pushawalla": { "title": "Pushawalla Palms Trail", - "state": "California", - "cover": "IMG_1424.JPG" + "state": "California", + "cover": "IMG_1424.JPG" + }, + "SmokyMountains": { + "title": "Smoky Mountains", + "state": "Tennessee", + "cover": "IMG_5708.JPEG" } } diff --git a/templates/main b/templates/main index a76131a..c3fedba 100644 --- a/templates/main +++ b/templates/main @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@
