Caught some thunderstorms up in the mountains earlier this week which made for some pretty dramatic scenes, including some awesome low hanging clouds in the valleys and even a nice rainbow at one point. Here's the 1st one from that day with a small thunderstorm cell coming in over the peaks in the distance, hope you enjoy the view!

Sliding Rock Waterfalls near Brevard is a 60-foot natural water slide that’s been a family favorite for generations. Step onto the smooth rock, feel the thrill, and land with a splash in the 7-foot-deep pool below.

There’s something for everyone—lifeguards on duty, changing rooms, and viewing areas for those who just want to cheer from the sidelines. It’s easy to get to, just off U.S. Highway 276, with a short walk to the top of the slide. Don’t forget: slide feet-first and follow the safety rules for a fun, refreshing adventure! 💦

Perfect for families, friends, or anyone ready to embrace the Smokies’ wild side.

A mountain view to start your Friday 🌄

Looking forward to enjoying clearer skies and some sunshine for a change today! Still a slight chance for storms late this afternoon, but an otherwise great opportunity to visit the mountain. The rain chances ramp up again beginning tomorrow though.
