Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail intersects the Clingman's Dome trail so we walked it for a bit.

Clingman's Dome
We enjoyed a moderately strenuous walk up to Clingman's Dome, the highest point east of the Mississippi. The panaromic views were excellent today.

Fireflies
Not the best camera work here because the flash and exposure give the impression that there was still daylight at the time, but if you look closely you can see fireflies, which were all around us.

Library Lounge
We closed the Lounge at dinner with a lovely sunset, and the food was pretty good, too.

Biltmore House, part deux
This was a nice surprise - a lego replica of the Biltmore House was in the winery store. I don't know if the details show well in the picture, but it is very impressive in person.

We found the waterfall!
We still haven't seen another trail marker, but we eventually founs the waterfall and it was well worth the experience.

Great way to end the night

We conquered Stone Mountain!
At least on the way up. This was a picture at the top. Then, on the way down, the Rock knocked our son on his tush and bloodied wifey's leg. Ah, memories

We had a great visit to the Stephen Foster Folk Park
We hadn't heard of him, but learned interesting facts about him at the site. He was one of the earliest professional America songwriters. Some of his ballards are well known, timeless favorites. Look them up and sing along!
