Stop 3: Great Smoky Mountains

We drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Great Smoky Mountains the scenery was amazing! We stopped at Linville Falls. Then  Rain and fog came in and we couldn't see anything. I understand why they call them the great Smokies. The fog looks like smoke! We got lost going to our campsite. It was up a 10 mile winding dirt road up a mountain with no guardrails. We finally arrived at the Cataloochee campgound at 10:00 pm and set up our tent in the dark. It was as close to backcountry camping as you can get!!
