Great Smoky Mountains Simply Beautiful | Adam Jones, Steve Kemp
5 posts
An estimated 100,000 plant and animal species reside in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It rains 7 feet per year, filling 2,000 miles of waterways. Mountains surpass 6,000 feet. Place names like Cataloochee and Oconaluftee, Charlies Bunion and Clingsmans Cove recall the history of settlement in the region. Park naturalist Steve Kemp explains both the natural environment and the creation of the national park. Photographer Adam Jones showcases the beauty of the park in every stunning season.

#winterreadathondailchallenge Day 9

I think this photo of the Great Smoky Mountains would make a lovely holiday card. In fact he had several I thought would make great winter cards.

The photo is by photographer Up N‘ Adam Adventures (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063788941153&mibextid=LQQJ4d)

Looking for RECOMMENDATIONS!
We are planning a two week trip to the Smoky Mountains in a few weeks and I need many hours worth of audiobooks to listen to in the car. Plan to spend the most days around the Smoky Mountains, but will be visiting all the places in the photo during the trip.

Hit me with your audiobook recs that take place around these areas! Family friendly books are best (MG, YA) + adult books without graphic content (my son is 10).

JenlovesJT47 Not necessarily in these areas but close - one of my favorite books and the audiobook is great! 5y
Lindy I can‘t think of any to recommend in the area where you‘ll be, but there are so many great family-friendly audiobooks like: 5y
Lindy Set in Kansas: 5y

Mitch Not sore about book recs - but I want to come and share that itinerary! Looks an amazing trip. Enjoy 😊 (edited) 5y
tracey38 Have fun! I love east TN and the Biltmore in NC! 5y
sblbooks Two middle grade books 5y
sblbooks And... 5y
MeganAnn @JenlovesJT47 I don‘t know if my husband and son would enjoy that one as much, but it‘s definitely going on my TBR! Thank you! 5y
MeganAnn @Lindy we already have some on our list but I thought it might be fun to include a couple that fit where we are going to. My son read Winn-Dixie in school last year and loved it. Moon Over Manifest is a new one to me and looks interesting! Thanks so much for the list - I completely forgot about Christy, but it‘s one I read and loved in middle school so it might be perfect for this! 😘 I‘ll have to check out the others on the list also 5y
MeganAnn @Mitch thank you! We are so excited! 5y
MeganAnn @tracey38 it will be our first time there! 5y
MeganAnn @Melissa_J my husband and son don‘t care for nonfiction as much, but that one looks very interesting. It‘s on my TBR and I might have to find a copy before we go! Thanks 😊❤️ 5y
MeganAnn @sblbooks thank you!! Road to Tater Hill might be a good option too. I hadn‘t heard of that one before. My son read Wish last year and absolutely loved it! I‘ll have to remind him that it takes place in NC 😊👏🏻❤️ 5y
Peddler410 No audio recs, but Rock City is so cool! 5y
