A rock overhang in the Smokies

Laura and I ducked under a rock overhang in the Smokies on our Kuwohi day, in May 2025. Kuwohi is the high point of Tennessee. It had been a wet day, but by late afternoon the rain had stopped, it was in the upper 50s, and the sky was starting to open up, still a bit breezy.

The overhang was a good place to pause, and we squeezed in under the rock together. Kuwohi, formerly Clingmans Dome, is the high point of both Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains.
