Avid Hiker and Photographer from East Tennessee. I enjoy hiking and camping in the smoky mountains and blue ridge mountains. If you have any questions dm me.

Accessing these waterfalls from cable trail is a very cool hike but the view at the bottom is even better. These waterfalls are very picturesque and are a must do when visiting the park.

This is a great place to spend the night or just spend 20 minutes. Whether you are driving through or spending the night you will enjoy your view.

This is a really cool place to check out and is definitely worth stopping at. This wooden tower is amazing and has some of the best sunset in Georgia.

This waterfall like the many in the area is very photogenic and provides many angles for photography. Don't forget to get the behind the waterfall selfie too.

This place is probably the best single thing to visit in the entire Blue Ridge mountains. There are so many amazing vistas and hikes along the parkway as well as a few firetowers and waterfalls. All are worth stopping at!!

This hike is always busy but it is always worth it. A true 360 degree view of the smokies. The sunrises from here are amazing so be sure to check it out.

This is a great place for photography but don't bother trying to stop on the weekends it gets pretty full quick and has a small pull off area so it can get dangerous.

Although this mountain was damaged by the fire this hike is still one of the best and the toughest in the smokies and is still worth seeing.

This scenic drive is pretty great for the historic factor that it offers as well as the nature. Be sure to check out the stops along the rout just watch for stinging nettle.

I suggest camping there so you can go out in the early morning. It is the best time of day to go so you can enjoy the peace of the valley and have a better chance of seeing wildlife.

This is a great place to check out especially in the early spring because there is still a lot of snow left even in late June.

This is a great drive to do to get away from the huge crowds. This drive has many many places to stop so make sure to hit them all!!

From this point you can see the beautiful views of the lower falls and you can see the great views of the valley below. This is my favorite spot for the waterfall.

This is an amazing drive with many oportunities for photography and hiking.

This is a great short hike to the waterfall. It is great to visit in all seasons. It is on the way from the Tetons to Yellowstone so it makes a great detour.

Although this campground does not have direct views of the Tetons it is still amazing. Since it is so close to the mountains it is a great place to camp if you are visiting the Tetons. There is also a good chance of seeing Moose in the area since the campground is right on the river.

This is a great place to see wildlife. There are plenty of moose in the area so seeing on is very likely. Be careful while hiking because moose can be very agressive when aproached.

This is a great place to go but can be a bit overrated the historical factor of it makes it very cool however the cave is not as long as it seems so the tour is pretty short.

This is a great place to hike around and explore but be sure to watch out for bears they can be around any corner.

This place is a beautiful and easy to access hike. It has amazing views from the top or the bottom. The waterfall is rain dependent so I suggest going at a wetter time of the year.

This is an amazing hike especially for how short it is. The landscape here is amazing and there are many oportunities for pictures. The water fall here is gorgeous so much so it has been used in a few commercials.

This place is one of the best diving and snorkelling spots I have ever been to. The fish here are so abundant and the coral is so lively it is amazing! The fish are not afraid of humans so some will almost swim to you! Also if you find a Go Pro it might be mine. Make sure to check your camera straps before you headout.

This overlook is an amazing place to visit. It really feels like you are right above the Atlantic.

This place is amazing to feel the gust of the wind and the thrust of the waves. It is also very cool to see the tide pools at low tide.
