We continued on to Roan Mountain after leaving the cabin. Sunday, 14th.
This is why they call them the Smoky Mountains.
The rhododendrons were starting to bloom on the top of the mountain.
Monday 15th
Roan Mountain
When we arrived, the fog was so thick you could see nothing.
We decided to hang around and see what might happen.
The wind shifted and started blowing the fog away.
Hiking through some woods
Thought this looked like something was creeping through the bushes and making them move.
Orange azaleas, a rarity.
Visiting the balds
Walked some more of the Appalachian trail.
Tuesday 16th

Very foggy and rainy today.
After a couple of hours it cleared up a little. We visited some animal exhibits.
Comparing wing span with an eagle.

Found some rocks to climb. This is called Split Rock.
