Continuous Climb

"Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain-tops are within reach." - John Muir

Well, I finally made it today! Today I was finally able to step foot on the Great Smoky Mountains, specifically Cades Cove. Up and on the road before the sun was thinking of waking, we we're able to enter the park at first light. 

I'm told that this is normal and can cause a lot of lines to enter, but today, the colder weather seems to be keeping a lot of people away, for me however, this is still a nice break from the winter we've been having up in Ottawa and with the sun shining it was absolutely gorgeous. 

I believe we're heading back to a different part of the park tomorrow with more water streams and such, looking forward to playing with my ND filter again. 

Also, I was warned that there would be bears; I didn't see any... I'm not sure if this should disappoint me or comfort me? Maybe they were just stalking me and I didn't notice?

Hope everyone has had a good day.
