Smoky Mountains on Day 3 - It actually snowed!

Hard to imagine this after the 80 degree weather two days earlier. We went for a beautiful drive along Little River road. Tried to do a short hike in the snow, but it was so cold that extremities began freezing. Had to give up a little early in the day and go shopping at the outlet stores in Pigeon Forge.
