Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Mount Cammerer

This morning Noelle and I woke up in our hotel room in Knoxville and quickly hit the road. We grabbed some breakfast at Hardee's before heading to the easternmost section of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Big Creek Ranger Station was our driving destination for the start of our hike up Mount Cammerer.

The hike itself was very pleasant with some big trees

and wildlife. Our destination, Mount Cammerer was nice as well.

However, the views were quite hazy.

After a few minutes up on top, we headed back down

and even caught a glimpse of a small black bear. All in all a good 12 mile hike.
