So this weekend as Kristi visited her friend Jill in Cincinnati, I kindly asked her if she would drop me off in Smoky Mountain National Park. At the park I met up with my friend Nick and his dad from Michigan. Being first time back country hikers, we got a little over excited and bit off a hike which was almost bigger than we could chew. We started at Clingman's Dome (at 6670 feet it is the highest point on the Appalachian Trail), which had just opened that day after being closed all winter. Over the next 3 days we followed a 31 mile loop back to where we started. Each night after we set up camp we frolicked in the mountain streams. Here are some pics of our adventure.
