Smoky Mountains: Top Experience

Here it is! Our #1 Top Experience in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Get ready for a bit of excitement, in combination with considerable amount of disappointment if you are hoping to see pictures and/or video of our top event. The truth is, that this event cannot be captured in video or photography; at least to the best of our knowledge! So if you like reading and are interested in what exactly this fascinating event is and was to us, come along on this text-heavy adventure as we try to flesh out this event the old-timey way… using words!
