Some words on Wednesday: Great Smoky Mountains


Hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus

On a drive on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway you will have amazing views  of the Great Smoky Mountains.  Which are  known for wildflowers, autumn colors, waterfalls, and black bears. It is also known for the blue-colored mist/natural fog that hangs above mountain peaks and valleys. It looks like smoke, and gives the area its name. This fog is caused by the vegetation emitting volatile organic compounds, chemicals that have a high vapor pressure and easily form vapors at normal temperature and pressure

At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is the highest point in Tennessee, and the third highest mountain east of the Mississippi.  Mount Mitchell's summit (elevation 6,684 feet), located in the Black Mountain range of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina, is the highest point east of the Mississippi River.

On a clear day you can see Virginia

  7. Gorgeous pictures! I mean totally off the chart beautiful colors of blue and green. I love them all but the top one is my favorite. Your post makes me want to hop in our vehicle and head to the Smokey Mountains and do the Blue Ridge Parkway. Fascinating about the source of the fog! I think we need a getaway!
