Vacation: Andrews Bald and Clingmans Dome

Thursday we were planning to visit some more waterfalls but on the way to the trailhead we noticed the weather breaking. Sunshine! We decided to make a break for a summit with the hopes that we'd actually see something besides the clouds surrounding us. We misjudged the weather. This was one of the rainiest days of the week. While we didn't get much of a view from the summit, we did get to experience a bald.

Day hike #3: Andrews Bald and Clingmans Dome
4.5 miles roundtrip (Clingmans Dome was a side spur that added a mile.)
899 feet elevation gain
Weather: Rain, rain, and more rain. But thankfully the rain paused for about 10 minutes while we were on the bald.
