Above the Pisgah National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park
On Thursday May 3, the conservation group Southwings provided an overflight of the Pisgah National Forest and Fontana Lake adjacent to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Here are some photos that were taken that day. They provide a unique perspective on a beautiful area. Enjoy!
