GSM National Park--Elkmont Trail

GSM National Park--Elkmont Trail · 06:16 PM

I edited a few more pics from my trip to the Smokies. These were taken along Elkmont Trail, which is an abandoned settlement--from what I understand, the National Park Service forced the last people living here out in 1992. The houses have not been maintained and have just been left to fall apart. As sad as it is, it still made for some interesting pics.

Here's a link to the whole set:

And that is why I will never visit the GSM National Park - but they are nice pictures, Heather.

Beautiful country life depicted in your images. The green is so elegant and graceful.

So where's all the cellphones?

The second shot is wonderful, Heather. Good to frame.
