We hiked the Appalachian Trail! 🤣‍🤣

Okay we didn't hike the trail but we did hike ON the trail... for a few minutes. 😂

Seriously though, it was pretty cool to be right by the trail and see it a few times in the park. We crossed over it on one of the hiking trails we did plus we saw it in two other spots.

Who all has spent time hiking the Appalachian Trail? Or who has it as a bucket list item? I think it would be cool to hike a segment but only however many miles I could do in one day. I have no desire to sleep on the trail. lol!

Watching this bull elk rub his antlers on the ground and on the bush was pretty cool! He was a big ol' boy!! So beautiful!

We saw another herd of elk as we started driving into the park! This time there were quite a few mommas and babies! 😍

Back behind the Oconaluftee visitor center is the Oconaluftee River as well as the Mountain Farm Museum so we wandered back there to check it out. It was so beautiful!

We also happened upon some roosters that were cock-a-doodle-dooing and some elk that were grazing on the grass and bushes. Since the elk were in the farm area, we weren't able to go in there but it was cool to see them all hanging out in the area!

Great Smoky Mountains National Park day 2! 😍

As we drove into the park to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center from Cherokee first thing in the morning, not only was there some very cool cloud cover and mist in the area, the elk were still hanging out in "their" field. :)

Such a fun welcome to the park!
