Roan Mountain

 
 
 
We took a daytrip to Roan Mountain, in the Cherokee National Forest on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. The leaves had fallen, so you have to imagine how spectacular it would look with autumn color. (We did drive through a different part of the forest in October. The colors were amazing but I forgot the camera that day!)
We didn't make it to the top - at 6,400 ft elevation, we ran into ice on the road. Since the road was very close to the dropoff, we carefully got the truck turned around and came back down. I took the picture after we were on safe dry road again. In June they have 600 acres of Rhododendrons blooming. I think it is beautiful in any season.
