Elkmont is a big campground located on little river.  I spent the weekend here, and had a great time with cool weather.  Warm during the day and just above freezing at night.

I drove up to clingmans dome at sunrise and caught a brief amazing glimpse before clouds covered up the whole view.  It was really interesting the way the conditions changed so quickly.  I made a short youtube video here:

I fly fished around the campground, but didn't have much luck until I walked a good distance upstream on the little river trail.  It was a great afternoon, and all fish I caught were rainbows and about hand size.  Nothing remarkable, but time well spent and very enjoyable.  

I would love to bring my son here, and look forward to trying to get a spot next year to bring him here.

As a note, I drove through gatlinburg early morning and the traffic was awful.  I turned left after gatlinburg and rather than having to head back through town there was a bypass, which was a huge time saver.
