Living the the mountains has had its perks, but the changing of the leaves has been one of the best. The leaves have been absolutely beautiful in all shades of red, green, yellow, orange, and brown. While we have had a pretty good view of them from our home and town, we've taken a few drives on the parkway and through the park to enjoy them a little more. My pictures do no justice to the beauty we've been seeing.
While driving the parkway we hiked up Devil's Courthouse. The hike was quite steep, but we all made it! The view was beautiful when we reached the top!

We also hiked up to Clingman's Dome in the GSM Nat'l Park. The kids loved all the rocks along the pathway. It was overcast and cloudy that day so we didn't have a great view from the top, but it was fun anyway.
One more trip to Cataloochee proved to be awesome as always. We saw several elk, lots of full grown bulls, and a few young bulls. The highlight this visit was two young bulls sparring.
