I made a couple trips to the Smokies this spring, including a very wet Saturday and Sunday this last weekend. All the tourists stayed in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, leaving the park to the more serious (crazy) people.
Most of the wildflowers were past peak in the lower elevations. It looked like the flowers in Chimneys Picnic Area had gotten frosted on earlier in the week.
All nice photos Richard. In the shot of the little cascade on the right at Tremont, I do belive that is the most water I have seen coming off there in a long time. Maybe the most ever. That makes it one of my favorites.
