Great Somky Mountains

  
  This week, I want introduce the Great Smoky Mountains for you. I'm so happy could have free time to visit here with Troy University CSSA on the last weekend. They are very kindness, friendly, and helpful. 


  
  The Great Smoky Mountains are a mountain range rising along the Tennessee-North Carolina border in the southeastern States. The distance from Troy to the national park about 393 miles and need drive about seven and half hours. 

Distance and Navigation

  The first thing I want tell you why the mountains called Great Smoky Mountains. As the name shows, the Smokes rise prominently above the surrounding low terrain and people just can see the smokes surrounding the mountains. 

The smokes surrounding the mountains
  Then, I will show you 4 good sites in the national park. The first one is Cades Cove,the most visited site in the park,there have some cabin and old church from the 19th century.

 

  When you stand here, you will feel back to the old time. The second view is Cataloochee, where is the best place to watching the wildlife. If you have a good luck, maybe you will see the black bear, white-tailed deer, and raccoon. On Sunday morning, when I waked up, I saw a black beer looking for food in the trash can. I'm so glad to saw that and it is my first time very closed the wildlife.



  Third one is Abrams, a beautiful waterfall in the national park, lots of people like take photo here.At last, I suggest you visit the Deep Creek, people can camping here, watch the waterfall, and barbecue with family and friends.

 In the end, I want give some tip for my reader. For travel in the Great Smoky Mountains the best ride is a SUV, and before you start your travel, you can make an appointment for a cabin, it is a great chance to back the old time.
