I love this little town at the top of the Smoky Mountains. They have the best gift shops for a lot better deals than anything you could get in the park itself. They have some beautiful jewelry and other items made by the local natives and artisans. Really nice stuff.

Getting through Hot Springs, NC can really suck... until ya hit Hwy 209... that is.🤘🏼😎 One of my favorite roads to drive in NC. It has strict weight limits, so 18 wheels are not allowed. In fact, it's mostly designated for motorcycles, and so they do own the road here. Then, about 15 mi south of Hot Springs, is a little "town" named Trust, which consists of a general store and a cafe, but it has the best hamburgers ever, and these really spicy fries that were delicious to
