We are enjoying the beautiful Smokies! We spent 10 days with our grandson and then came back to explore the area some more. We are glad we did!

Deep Creek Camp Campground (Bryson City, North Carolina)

Indian Creek Falls – we always meet wonderful people willing to swap photo opps
Love all the light filtering through the trees as walk. Imagine the silence, the filtered light, and beautiful forest capturing our thoughts and imaginations.
Beautiful discoveries
Lunchtime at our campsite
Chef Roger making his wonderful vegetable beef stew. It was GREAT.
Dishwasher extraordinaire
Trying out a new instant pot recipe. It’s a keeper.

Enchanted Hike to a Cemetery

We saw a sign while hiking that said Cemetery. We hiked up through one of the most interesting and magical trails we have been on.

How cool is this? We felt like we were entering another world.
Three graves..hmm? Haven’t been able to find the story behind this place
Three Wiggins headstones

Bryson City

We loved Bryson City which was only a short drive from our campsite. Our camp host recommended a little coffee shop and of course we needed to try it out!

Enjoying a relaxing moment with Sundance
Sunny posing for a picture. Some other people passing by took his picture too.
We tried getting Sunny to pose on the seat of this bike—BAD IDEA 😳
LOTS of fly fishing in the rivers here.
We had fun on the Great Smoky Mountain Railway Tour.
Here is our steam engine. It reminded us of riding the steam trains in India and Bangladesh although MUCH more luxurious
Banjo entertainment on board
We really enjoyed meeting wonderful new friends from Georgia
Reflecting on the scenery.
Watching the engine puff away as we go around the bend.

  1. Love all the pictures! The trails look so great. The last time I drove through the Great Smokies I was on my way with my brother and grandfather to graduate school in New York City — 1969! I didn’t remember ever seeing a deciduous forest before that and thought it was just gorgeous.
