Great day in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park today. Started by shopping for our trail lunch at the super market and then headed out to the park headquarters outside of Cherokee. We got oriented at HQ and then were lucky to get to see two elk while at the visitor center. A park ranger set up a telescope so we could get a closer view. After our start here, we took off for a 5-mile hike on Deep Creek in the park. It was a tiring hike with some elevation climb. We were excited to get to see three waterfalls during this all-day activity. We ended the afternoon with a treat at Dairy Queen for two compliments we had received during the day. Had an early evening swim and then out to dinner. Fun day, but we're ready for bed.
