Thomas Divide hike.

Friday, Oct 17.  Steve and I hiked by ourselves on the Thomas Divide trail.  The trail starts on the NC side of the Smokies, just below Newfound Gap, and except for about 1/2 mile at the beginning, is relatively flat, in mountain terms at least! There were really no views from the trail.  These pictures were taken from Newfound Gap road.


View of the Chimneys.  You CAN hike to these, and I have done it, but it's not for the faint of heart.  The trail is like a 2 mile long, very steep stairway.  But the views are worth it!


The white in the distance is fog in the valley.
