Whoa! The unspeakable beauty of the mountains is undeniable. We arrived in Western North Carolina on a sunny but cool day. As we were having lunch in Saluda, NC I saw a weather alert pop up – possible 3-5″ of snow in elevations > 3,500. We were at 5,000. Here it is in all its glory. What a magical time to be in the mountains…

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a site to behold. It’s stunning no matter what time of year it is. Whether the flowers are in all their glory and the berries are ripe for picking, or whether the leaves are changing into stunning hues that are quite unbelievable. It was luck to have snow after we arrived that melted before we left. I can’t imagine this happening again, the timing was perfection. A true gift. See alerts that are in effect for Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The Swag in western North Carolina (WNC) is a stunning property owned and managed by people who truly care about not only the property but the entire surrounding area. That means the world.
