Cades Cove really took a beating when 106 mph winds ripped
through the park Monday night. This camper was
particularly hard hit.

| Kaboom! |

Also in Cades Cove, the rangers' cars took a direct hit.
All park roads have re-opened, except Rich Mountain Road.

Best Color in Years! |
|
|
|
The leaf color right now in the park is the best in many years
according to professional photographer Bill Lea, high-mileage
hiker Tom Harrington, and other experts!
Especially gorgeous is the color on the North Carolina side of
the park and along the Blue Ridge Parkway between Cherokee
and Asheville.
