Entering the Great Smoky Mountains!!!
How exciting, I am entering the smookies 🤗
I heard so much about these mountains, and I am about to go through them 🏔
The first day of entering the smookies is mostly all uphill. This being said, I think it went pretty well.
On the way up, I decided to do a small detour & go up Shuckstack fire tower! How fun & slightly scary going up 😅
I initially intended to stop at Mollies Ridge Shelter, but I decided to push 3.1 extra mile that day.
When I arrived to the shelter around 5PM, a fire was burning in the fire place. That was so nice!
