Smoky Mountain Living - October/November 2018

Big South Fork country is a landscape of sedimentary canyons, gorges, rivers, side streams, rock spires, natural bridges and arches. Front and center in this impressive plateau landscape is a 125,000-acre Federal preserve called the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.

Also: Haunted Abingdon, Virginia; three generations in one orchard; see West Virginia on two wheels; taking a break in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina; and a bittersweet goodbye to Grandad Ernie’s Crow Tree.
