            Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited of all the U.S. National Parks.  And yet, it can be one of the most quiet, serene and transformative locations a person can experience.

Even here, within Cades Cove, the most popular destination in the park, one can find solitude hiking along Abrams Falls Trail.  This scene, upstream from the falls, just begs a person to stop and listen to nature.  The occasional burst of pink and white Tennessee Mountain Laurel gives away the Spring season this photo was captured.  I'm certain that the burst of color in Autumn is unparalleled, but perhaps a bit overwhelming by comparison.  Someday, perhaps, I will get the chance to visit during that time of year.
