Toad-ally Amazing Views: Chasing Fog in the Smoky Mountains

 

The Smoky Mountains have been on my must-visit list for ages, and our recent trip did not disappoint! We stayed at the KOA in Pigeon Forge, which was the perfect cozy base for our adventure. The campground was clean, friendly, and had that laid-back vibe that makes you feel like you’re stepping away from everyday life. I loved the lazy river pool, fire and hot tub.

We were short on time and after we checked into our cabin we set out to chase those famous mountain views. Driving up the mountain’s as the sun is starting to set might not be the ideal time but as we drove higher, the fog got thicker, making everything feel magical and a little mysterious. The higher we climbed, the more breathtaking the scenery became. At the top, we were surrounded by clouds, and more fog but it was a great time it was one of those moments where you just pause, take a deep breath, and soak it all in.

Even in the mist, the views were spectacular, and I kept snapping photos, trying to capture even a fraction of the magic. Being up there, with the cool air, the fog swirling around, and the quiet of the mountains, it felt like a world away from the city—and I loved every second.

We didn’t get to do everything this time, but that’s the beauty of the Smokies: there’s always a reason to go back. Next time, we’re hoping to explore some of the attractions in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area, like Dollywood, The Island in Pigeon Forge, Ripley’s Aquarium, and the various scenic hiking trails and ziplining experiences. There’s just so much to see and do, and we can’t wait to hop back up those foggy peaks and soak in even more of the adventure.

Until next time, keep hopping toward the views that take your breath away—and may your adventures always be foggy, magical, and unforgettable!
