Dogzilla, great pictures! It's like Old Home Week for me since I grew up in Knoxville! About 8 years ago, I hiked from Clingman's Dome down the Appalachian Trail to the Mirey Ridge Trail and then down into Elkmont. It was one of the greatest hikes I've ever done, and I still have a bunch of pictures of it in here in my office.
In about 3 weeks the fireflies start their mating rituals in Elkmont where they blink in unision and creat waves of light moving down the mountain. If you're nearby you should check it out!
PS - Clingman's Dome is the highest point east of the Mississippi.
