It's a Big Park

November 19, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

Visit Great Smoky Mountains National Park and you'll find that everyone is on the one-way road through Cades Cove. But there is a lot more park than the Cove. And there is certainly more to see than a drive through the Park from Gatlinburg, TN to Cherokee, NC. The park covers 521,490 acres or about 800 square miles. There are 384 miles of roadway and 800 miles of hiking trails. It is possible to be alone or nearly so in this massive park. One such place is Cataloochee on the far eastern edge of the park; it is home to a sizeable elk herd where one can readily hear them bugling. This photo is of Palmer Chapel on a November evening with the elk nearby.
