Cataloochee Valley, NC

Even though the weather called for rain all day we headed for the mountains to see the last of the fall colors. After a nice lunch in Sylvia we drove to the Cataloochee Valley in the northern end of the Smokey Mountain Nat'l Park. I knew the NPS had reintroduced elk into the valley some time ago. Even with constant rain we managed to get a few pictures. We found several large flock of wild turkey and a group of about 25 elk lead by a beautiful large bull.
