Yesterday, I drove to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to visit the Kuwohi Observation Deck. For some reason, I thought this was the clear circular observation deck that I’ve seen in photos, but it wasn’t. It was still cool! The line of cars waiting to park was unreal. The walk to the deck is a half mile and steep. The views are astounding! At 6,643 ft., it’s the highest point in the park. It was a bit cloudy so I adjusted quite a few settings for this photo. It may appear a little over processed.

On the way to Mingo Falls, I stopped for this photo op.

Mingo Falls didn’t disappoint! There are 150 steps and then a short walk to get to the falls.

I also stopped at Soco Falls, but it wasn’t as scenic. I finally made it to my Airbnb in Maggie Valley. Today I’m checking into my new cottage in Asheville! It’s furnished and I was able to drop my stuff off there before I left on this little mini trip. Have a great weekend!
