We went to the Mountains on Friday, the 30th and came home on Sunday evening. Justin and Kayla went with us and we really enjoyed the beautiful trees and mountains! As many times as we have been to the mountains, I don't remember ever going in October when the leaves were peaking. They weren't 100% but they were still very pretty.
When we got there Friday, we went straight to Cades Cove. Saw several deer and a lot of turkeys! We rode back to Cades Cove on Saturday to horseback ride but after the rains, the creek was too high for the horses to cross. Then Sunday we rode back out and Justin and Kayla finally got to go horseback riding and David & I went for a carriage ride. :)
Our driver told us that the Cades Cove loop road will be closed next year from March to May so that they can repave the road! He said that is the first time in 75 years that it has ever been closed. Interesting!! But it sure will be nice when it is freshly paved.
