Our favorite photos show how beautiful the Smoky Mountain area is.

Most are inside the national park, while others are outside in Gatlinburg, Townsend, and Pigeon Forge.

We took all these photos and will update them as we add more!

Townsend Wye

These two photos were taken late morning at the Townsend Wye, and are some of our favorites. The Wye is one of the local favorite swimming areas during summer.

There’s still some morning mist hanging around, with the sun shining through.

Both of these are available as canvas prints in our store.
