Our journey began in Tellico Plains, TN. We connected with the Cherohala Skyway (for those of us who live in TN the beginning of the Skyway!) there and up the road a bit we took a small detour to see what the Bald River Falls looked like.
Bald River Falls - as you can see we were not disappointed.

We continued our journey along the Cherohala. We started to get worried that we wouldn't see the snow we were hoping to find.
LOOK - SNOW!
The higher we climbed the more we saw! This was taken at about 5,ooo feet.
We stopped at one of the highest points along the Cherohala and got out to play in the snow we found!!! We found what we were looking for - YAY!
Boy did we find it - Big!
The Cherohala ends not too far up the road from where we made our stop. Robbinsville, NC is where we got off the Cherohala and made our way onto the Nantahala.
We followed the Nantahala for a while and eventually found ourselves in Cherokee, North Carolina (don't ask me how but we did). We had an early dinner there and made our way through the Smoky Mountain National Forest to Gatlinburg, TN. We had dessert there and began our quick journey home via the Knoxville route. What a great, full day we had!
