Today was short hike day, short but sweet as the saying goes. It may have only been 1/2 mile and was totally paved but it was up, up, up.
Clingmans Dome is a hike up to the top of the park. This trail terminates at the highest point in the park, then continues up an observation tower. Everyone on the trail seemed to agree it was worth it. That and we had a great day for it, sunny, warm and clear for many miles.
Lunch on the truck tail gate and it was back down the mountain to try to get Rosalie's latest junior ranger badge, but alas we did not make it back to the visitors center in time so that must wait until tomorrow..
Todays wildlife sighting: a small cub black bear climbing down from a small tree, an owl perched on a branch.
