Oct. 6, 2012 Part 3

This weekend we decided to check the progress of fall foliage in western North Carolina... and ended up in eastern Tennessee. I had heard of Unaka Mountain, it features a couple of good hikes, waterfalls, overlooks and a fun 14 mile forest service road to test the Land Cruiser on. Best laid plans and all... the fun FS road was gated, as soon as we started hiking it started raining and the further up we went, the more fog covered us. The one image is the huge overlook on Unaka Mtn., supposed to be able to see Mt. Mitchell. We also planned to camp, but an updated 70% chance of thunderstorms starting at 4am convinced me to drive back home.
