Smoky Mountain Park
Our last virtual trip for the summer was to none other than Smoky Mountain National Park. Located right in our back yard almost, and borders between North Carolina and Tennessee. It is world renowned for its diversity of plant and animal life, the beauty of ancient mountains, and the quality of its remnants of Southern Applachian Mountain Culture. This is America’s most visited national park and to us who live here we know why. This picture was done by Residents by coloring designs and put together to protray what quilts look like.
