Show and tell about places in nature that were, or are, important to you. Big majestic places, or everyday places. A ridgeline in the Great Smoky Mountains Who: Darryl Lodato Where: A ridgeline that separates the town of Maggie Valley, North Carolina from the Great Smokey Mountain National Park Why: The pristine beauty of this mountain forest trail reaches surreal proportions in the winter time. The visual drama of the dark bare trees covered and surrounded by snow is breathtaking. This is highlighted by a profound serenity that is created by the deep, winter silence of the forest. It is truly an enchanted place. Photo courtesy of Darryl Lodato Tell us about your Special Place! Up to Top
