Best laid plans...

A group of us had planned a hike to Grotto Falls, not stopping to think that this was the busiest time of the year in the Smokies. Grotto Falls is packed on a quiet day, so we realized it would be impossible today. So, plan B..we drove on Newfound Gap road to Smokemont campground near Cherokee, NC., and hiked the Bradley Fork trail to Chasteen Falls. I've hiked many trails in the Smokies but this one was brand new for me. The leaves were gorgeous  on the ride over. You should have heard all 6 of us pointing out each beautiful view! It truly was breathing and there is no way pictures can do it justice.
