Betsy and I love driving through the mountains just about any time of the year, provided there are places where we can turn off and enjoy the view. One of our favorite drives is the Cherohala Skyway between Robbinsville, North Carolina, and Tellico Plains, Tennessee.
We made this drive from east to west in October, 2009, when the autumn colors were very near their peak. The collage above gives a sample of the beauty we enjoyed, but no photograph can capture the splendor of those mountains in their multi-colored glory. If you get the opportunity to make this drive during autumn, I encourage you to do so.

I love all those rich colours, something we missed this autumn, because it was too dry.
Thank you so much for your visit and comment. It is so wonderful to read all those comments and blogs! Have a great weekend with Betsy!

I was looking at my old photos to Rotorua, there were many red trees just like yours.

Excellent fall foliage. And the November roses ain’t so bad either.

Amazingly, as close as we are to the skyway, we’ve only been over it once. Your shots are sure colorful.
