Bryson City, NC

The Great Smokey Mountains National Park is divided between Tennessee to the north and North Carolina to the south by the Appalachian Trail, the longest footpath in the eastern  US, over 2100 miles. The Pacific Crest Trail is over 2500 miles long.  After leaving Clingmans Dome, I headed south to Bryson City, on the southern edge of the Park.  It’s less assuming than other towns on the park boundary. It’s claim to fame is the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, a steam train that travels through the Nantahala Gorge. More on that tomorrow.  So I spent the first two days here exploring more waterfalls. Can you see too many?  After theses months, I am losing track of which ones I’ve seen, but for my blog  which will help me keep track of them.  Adding to the list are Mingo falls, June Whack, Indian Creek and Tom’s Branch Falls.
