This lovely lady was hard at work serenading the passing vans filled with tourists for a quick buck. An american dollar is equivalent to almost twenty in their country. There was a little boy further back up the road. We ended up giving a dollar to a younger girl before him and we drove right by the boy. Looking back I saw him get frustrated that the girl got money and he didn't and he kicked over something near by so I had our guide stop the van so we could run back and give him a dollar too! :)

- Day Two -

 

We left the highest point, Clingman's Dome, and continued downwards onto the winding, curving roads. Back onto 441, we followed Oconaluftee River southward. We pulled over along the way to admire (and photograph!) creeks, meadows full of wild flowers, and wildlife. We spotted numerous elks roaming.

 

We ended up getting "lost" down an odd little road full of small houses, domestic animals, and bizarre decorations; we easily turned back on track. Continuing south towards Cherokee NC, we made our next stop Oconaluftee Visitor Center.

 

There was a museum, a homestead wonderfully preserved, to show how families lived and survived in the mountains 100 years ago. My Mom was delighted and wonderstruck imaging life on the homestead; I tried my hardest to capture that moment for her!

- Day Four -

 

We started our day early and headed east towards Glacier National Park. Instead of taking the main road to the entrance, I suggested driving the longer way around to explore, why not? We are glad we took the path less traveled because we saw some awesome sights all around the Apgar Mountains!

Long trip with SkyWest coworkers Brent and Greg.

North Rim of the Grand Canyon at sunset... A magical Fall sunset and my first time viewing the Grand Canyon. Truly a natural wonder!

- Day Four -

 

We parked at a little picnic area on Two Medicine Lake. When we walked down to the shore it was absolutely breathtaking. The breeze from the water, the crisp air on our skin, the smell of pine & sweet grass. Everything about this place was majestic. We felt totally alive, we danced, we hugged, we sang. I even splashed a handful of water on my face just to feel refreshed. I always wanted to witness a place like this in my lifetime, and we did. There is truly no place like Montana.

What more can you ask for after a soul-soothing #worship at the grandiose Lord Shiva statue #temple at Murudeshwara.

- Day Three -

 

Our adventure on day two led us all the way south through the Great Smokies and back. We enjoyed a relaxing night at Berry Springs Lodge and scouted out our adventure for the next day. Day three, we decided to head east, around the National Park instead.

 

We began in Gatlinburg, stopping at a few overlooks and admiring the town from above. We then followed Little River east, hiked at a few stops (Mom relaxed in her stone chair!), checked out Elkmont Campground, and eventually we made it to a man-made waterfall from the 1800s, "The Sinks".

 

We headed out of the National Park toward Townsend, a quaint little mountain town and onto Foothills Parkway, which skirted around the Great Smokies. It was a perfect road for bikers and sightseers. There were not many tourists at all but so many beautiful stops and overlooks.

 

One place in particular was Look Rock Tower, which was too high for Mom, but I had to check it out. I could see the highest peaks of the Smokies and an awesome panoramic view! After I came back down to find her, she had found some cool rocks to climb, lizards, and neat mushrooms for me to photograph.

 

We drove Foothills Parkway as far as we could, finally ending at Chillhowee Lake.

While five days is too short to properly explore the Faroe Islands, we lucked out with spectacular weather that made taking in the country's dramatic landscapes an absolute pleasure. While people often talk about the Faroe Islands as being very similar to Iceland, Scotland or Norway the truth is it is its own distinct destination with raw shoreline and distinct geological formations that make it truly unique to experience and explore.
