Those photos are really wonderful, y'all are making wonderful family vacation memories that I know your children will cherish. What a view from Clingman's Dome! Maybe next time we go up there I'll give the Clingman's Dome hike a try but I prefer the trails through the woods, like the one behind the Ogle cabin which is really nice. I like the trail behind the Sugarland's Visitor Center too.
Gosh, seeing your photos sure makes me want to take a trip back to the Smokies!
