The only bad thing about getting on a mountain trail is having to return to the “real” world. #hiking #GreatSmokeyMountains #tennessee #bliss #bestlife #mountains

Had an amazing day hiking through the Great Smokey Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway and the Qualla Boundary. I forget how blessed I am to have come from these lands. I love Atlanta, but These mountains will always be home.

I don’t have many photos of waterfalls because there are not many in my neck of the woods but this was one I saw on a hike on the Laurel Falls trail in the Great Smokey Mountains this summer. It was our first of many hikes. I remember it was a damp foggy morning and Ben almost fell off the trail on the way back. It scared the hell out of me and Ben finished the hike bleeding but at least not down in a deep ravine. #WaterfallWednesday #GreatSmokeyMountains #LaurelFalls #waterfall
