June 17, 2008 TuesdayI did the touristy thing and went to the top of Clingman's Dome (6643 ft) It was windy and it was chilly but the panaramic view was fabulous. I walked, maybe, 100 yards down the Appalachian Trail and then I did a very lazy thing. I popped out my foldable chair, had a picnic lunch and watched the mountains for the rest of the afternoon.
Because I had not used very much energy in the afternoon, I decided I needed to do something for exercise so I drove to Laurel Falls which offered a 2.5 mile round trip hike. Again, 1 mile up is still some work in the mountains. But there were loads of people at the top and the peaceful waterfalls wasn't very peaceful. Going down was a breeze.
