Throwback Thursday: The Appalachian Trail, 2007

In the summer of 2007 we took a family vacation over to the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. During one excursion we got out and walked part of the Appalachian Trail.

I’m not the most athletic… so hiking the Appalachian Trail is never going to be on my bucket list. However, taking a little stroll on part of it in an easily accessible part of a national park- that was possible. So that is what we did and I posed for pictures (of course). Smokey Mountain is lovely and only a few hours from where I live, so it is a nice place to vacation if you want to see something pretty, southern and full of natural beauty. However, it can be crowded… so plan your trip time accordingly!
