Great Smoky Mountains - Cataloochee

Sunday morning, we broke camp, but before heading back to Raleigh, we stopped in the Cataloochee area. There were wild turkeys and elk along the side of the road.


After some pictures of the wildlife, we parked and hiked along the Caldwell Fork Trail. This trail is relatively flat, a relief after a strenuous hike the day before. However, it follows the creek with numerous footbridge crossings and was quite scenic. About two miles in, a footbridge was out. We were able to cross, but turned back anyway for time's sake, and headed back to Raleigh after a great weekend.
