Gatlinburg in December

Since this was our last trip for a while to Gatlinburg, we did all our usual stops. Went to our favorite shops, made our favorites drives through the mountains, and we even got to see some wildlife. This is such a beautiful part of the world. It was cold, but there was no snow yet. We did see a lot of the streams that trickly down the mountain were frozen into icicles.

We have now seen this are of the world through all the seasons. There were some things we couldn't do because roads were closed due to the winter season. We also didn't do too much hiking the brazen cold either. But I must say my favorite time of year to see this area is the spring. It's rainy, and muggy, but so beautiful with everything in bloom.

Such a wonderful place.
