Cherokee, North Carolina

Cherokee, North Carolina is a town on the reservation of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation, in  western North Carolina. Cherokee is located at the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and at the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cherokee are a Native American People, originally indigenous to the Southeastern United States, currently there are three federally recognized Cherokee tribes, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina, the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, they are also in Oklahoma. We had a great time there and I got to hug a bear!

Event Horizon

The following day we drove over to Brasstown Bald, Brasstown Bald is the highest point in the state of Georgia, located in northeast Georgia, the mountain is known to the native Cherokee people as Enotah. The name in English is derived from a mistaken translation of the term for a former Cherokee village nearby, located along the upper Brasstown Creek (named in English from the same error) feeding the Hiawassee River.
Across the North Carolina state line, immediately North of the mountain, are other places named in that error of English settlers: Brasstown, a community in the Brasstown township of Clay County, North Carolina.
Brasstown Bald is partly in both Towns and Union counties, the peak being divided by the county line. The mountain is part of the Blue Ridge Mountains(part of the Appalachian Mountains), and within the borders of the Blue Ridge Ranger District of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The mountain consists mostly of soapstone and dunite.
On a clear day, it is possible to see the tall buildings of Atlanta, Georgia from the summit. We could not see that but, the view was quite breathtaking.

Pierre and I walked up the mountain, we didn't take the shuttle, it was a bit of a climb!
We went thru a cute little town named Helen so I wanted to go back there!
It looked like it came straight out of the alps. Helen was formerly a logging town that was in decline, so the city resurrected itself by becoming a replica of a Bavarian alpine town, in the Appalachians instead of the Alps. This design is mandated through zoning first adopted in 1969, so that the classic south-German style is present on every building.
Because of this, tourism is the main industry in Helen, catering mostly to weekend visitors from the Atlanta area and also motorcyclists who enjoy riding the beautiful roads of Helen and its surrounding areas during all seasons.
