Images from our May 2007 trip to Bryson City North Carolina, our second time visiting the area.
The first series is from in and around the Deep Creek side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park
We ventured to Cataloochee for the first time and saw many elk as the sun was setting.
This was the first trip that we saw black bears, which was fascinating and quite interesting to watch.
