307e winding through the "Land of Blue Smoke" **Explore**

Explore Nov 1, 2011 # 417

The Cherokee called this area "The Land of the Blue Smoke"--- we currently call them the "Smoky Mountains". Located in both Tennessee and North Carolina, the vistas are breath-taking--- each scene more beautiful than the next. Photos can't begin to do these ancient peaks justice.

This was taken from Newfound Gap-- right on the Tennessee/ North Carolina border. This was not discovered to be the lowest, easiest way to cross the mountains until 1872-- previously the Cherokee trails, farmer and trader routes , and the Confederate army used another pass ( Indian Gap) 2 miles away, that was not as accesible as this.
