One of my best friends was moving from DC to Texas and our road trip took us through Tennessee. We decided to stop in the Smokies and took her dog, JR, on a pet-friendly hiking trail along a creek. JR grew up in a city so it was his first time seeing running water. Definitely a fun time for all of us.
Sincerely,
