Craggy Gardens Hiking Trail Near Asheville NC

A classic trail scene from the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina during the annual rhododendron bloom, with the hiking trail shrouded in heavy fog providing this wonderful atmosphere that just envelops you. I love it when it's like this in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, when even the sounds of the busy world around you seem to fade away into the mist, leaving behind nothing but the peaceful silence of the natural world.
