GSMA’s own Marti Smith took these photos — the first is of a bird’s nest containing Junco eggs and the second is another glorious shot of azaleas.
Here’s another rarely seen type of tourist checking out the fabulous azaleas on Gregory Bald — a bunny!!

This is a sight not many people get to see — or have the courage to photograph!
Be amazed at this photo of wild hogs hiking on Gregorys Bald by Steve Roark, Dawn Roark’s husband. Dawn manages our Cades Cove and Townsend stores.
The azaleas on Gregory Bald are outstanding right now. They should continue to show good blooms for another week. The rosebay (white) rhododendron on Parson Branch Road is so profuse its almost off the scale. You have to see it to believe it. Really.
