We couldn't pass by Smoky Mountain NP without making a stop for a quick hike. A half an hour up a nice, gradual climb we came upon a series of deep swimming pools and waterfalls which made a perfect afternoon break from the road. Beautiful blue butterflies were everywhere!
On the way back to the interstate we passed by bus-loads of river-ready rafters, and made a mental note to come back to this spot with at least 3 days to spare. Back on the road we continued to cut through steep cliffs and beautiful green mountains.
We arrived in Nashville around dinner time, meeting Hanna and Joe downtown outside of the Bridgestone Arena! The Scorpions Farewell Tour was in town, so people-watching had a higher than average entertainment value. We walked down to the waterfront, heard a little live music and grabbed a BBQ dinner overlooking Broad Street.
