Wears Valley

November 07, 2014  •  1 Comment

We did find color in the Smokies a week ago, on a road that we had not been on before. We enjoy the small area of Townsend more than the tourist attractions of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. But last week, we stayed in Pigeon Forge and drove the Wears Valley road to Townsend. And there was color all along the way. We also visited some other places that were new for us, including hiking to the Walker Sisters' cabin. While it was certainly quiet by the cabin, we imagined that it must have been a very difficult life for the family in that remote location. We enjoy living closer to the Park than we ever have before.

There is so much history and folk lore in those mountains. We enjoyed Cades Cove for all the same reasons you enjoyed your recent venture. My mind is digging deep to try to remember the story of an older (probably now deceased) Maryville College prof and the mountains. Will let you know if I remember. Thanks for the photos, John.
