There was quite a bit of color --but not as much in the higher elevations. However, we picked a perfect day to be there because a cold front had blown through the area the day before, and it turned out to be a perfect day --and very clear.
Besides seeing some gorgeous colors along the parkway, we hiked to a tall tower near Look Rock ---and saw some spectacular views of the Smokies and of the area all around. I will publish pictures of the tower and views in another post, and today will share some of the gorgeous colors we encountered that day. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
You can see some of the beautiful Smoky Mountains in this photo.
I can just "ooh and ahh" when seeing the beautiful Fall colors.
We found this beautiful red color as we were hiking up to the tower. Isn't it just gorgeous?
Here's another picture showing some of the beautiful Smoky Mountains, and the valley below.
For some reason, I am drawn to this picture... I love the little splashes of red!!!! What do you think?
Finally, this picture was taken near Chilhowee Dam --after we got off of the Foothills Parkway... I love seeing Fall color around the water. The only thing needed is a great reflection... (Guess we need to go back for that!!! ha)
Hope you enjoyed seeing some color from the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Hope also that you had a great weekend... George and I had our annual physicals this past Friday ---and both received excellent reports... Thanks be to God for GOOD HEALTH.
Hugs,
