The mountains of western North Carolina as seen from an overlook on Grandfather Mountain. November 8, 2011.

Since Betsy and I live in Tennessee, we’re naturally fond of the Smokies. We visit the Smoky Mountains whenever we can.
But the mountains of western North Carolina are pretty neat as well. I lived in Black Mountain, North Carolina, for thirteen years and enjoyed exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The highest peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina is Grandfather Mountains. (Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the state is in the Black Mountains.) Betsy and I visited Grandfather Mountain in November, and I was able to capture this panorama view of the surrounding mountains from one of the overlooks.

That was my view for a couple of months in 2009. We did an irrigation project for a private course in Banner Elk. It was wonderful!

i like that bit of road you captured way at the bottom, and the mystery building way up on the mountain.

One can always find beauty in nature, not just the familiar. The world is such an amazing place.

I believe I recognize those distant condos as being atop Sugar Mtn.

Love it. I love panoramic views because it gives me the feeling of being there. If yours is enlarged to the largest size it seems like you are actually there looking at it in person. That is a good panoramic….no seams visible.
