As I mentioned in the previous blog, the planned camping trip to Elkmont in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) had to be cancelled by unforeseen circumstances. However, it didn't stop a trip to look at the fall colors in the Smokies, specifically, Elkmont. One of the reasons the middle of the week was chosen is because it is crowded this time of the year and getting a weekend spot in Elkmont Campground is impossible. Still, while I missed camping it was still fun to hike around Daisy Town and the old cabins. However, a hike on the Gatlinburg Trail was postponed because it took an hour to get from Laurel Falls to Sugarlands...it was Friday.
