Trip West - KY to Smoky Mountain National Park


We leave Kentucky and head towards the Smoky Mountain National Park.  Our reservation starts Sunday so we layover in Tennesse for a night


Just over the border is Indian Mountain State Park, we were lucky enough to 
find a spot for Saturday night.


Looks like a nice one


The sites are all paved and good size


Did a quick walk down to the Lake to check it out - otherwise way too hot to be outside


Sunday we head out early to get to Smokemont Campground in the Smoky Mountains

Pass through Knoxville


and get to the West side of the Park


The Temperature in Gatlinburg was 93


Now the scenic drive begins



through tunnels


and a more than winding road


Wonder why they are called the Smoky Moutains??


We arrive at the Park, here's hoping the site I got is a good one


and it is


We got all settled in and the rains came in the early evening - the temps were in the low 70s


The next morning we get up early and Gary cooks breakfast outside.


Now it's time to explore
