    Smoky Mountain National Park

    Went on a hiking trip with a few friends of mine into the Smoky Mountains. It was the first time going out with hammocks for all us, as well as the first time backpacking. It was a fun time and I already want to go again!

    We took the Big Creek Trail to campsite 37 and stayed a couple days, then we took the Swallow Creek Trail to the Mt Sterling Ridge Trail and planned to stay up there but the campsite was taken, so we hiked back down that night.

    Great photos. This location with the brook and trees define "peace and quiet". Looks like you guy had a great time together.

    I'll be darned, I wasn't even aware you could bring a firearm in any national parks besides Alaska.
