Clingmans Dome sunrise
It’s that time of year – the leaves are changing, the nights are turning cold, and the Smokies are as beautiful as ever. Today we drove out before dawn (it was about 30 degrees and very windy in the higher elevations) to catch sunrise at Clingmans Dome. Us, and a bunch of other people! The mountains are *packed*; there are tons of “No Vacancy” signs in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg; traffic is a nightmare; people are everywhere like ants. But if you can fight your way through the madness, you will be rewarded with some exceptional sights. Here are just some of the 125 pics I took today:
