After a quick breakfast we set out for Cherokee, NC, to see some waterfalls on the Deep Creek Trail hike. They are among the prettiest in the park.
To get there we crossed Newfound Gap, and then stopped at the Onacoluffte Visitor Center.
The first was Tom Branch Falls.
Then Indian Creek Falls.
Then Juney Wank. These are all on the same Three Falls Loop.
After that, on our way home we detoured to Mingo Falls. This one is not in the NP, but rather is on the Cherokee reservation. It is the most impressive of the falls I have seen here.
It was a short hike up some steep stairs but worth it!
Then back for a supper of leftovers and to start packing for the trip home. The weather was cooler but we had a great time.
Smokies! Cannot wait to come back!
