Many crocodiles, as expected, but I had no idea I'd see the tiny ones that probably just got out into the world. So cute and a bit terrifying little beasties.
There are many turtle species around and there are notes in english about them. You have to pay a bit extra to your National Park entry ticket if you want to visit the Centre too.
To Find Daniel Boone Scout Trail Hiking Trail From Blowing Rock, take US 221 about 8 miles to Grandfather Mountain Country store. Take a right onto Holloway Mtn. road to the Blue Ridge parkway. Head south on the parkway to mile marker 300 and the parking area on the right. The parking area is not well signed but it is the one with painted lines (the other 2 you will pass are just overlooks without marked parking spaces). Source: Tripleblaze.com
We came to Denali mid September. The fall colors were so incredibly beautiful! We were even able to see Denali in the distance. With the roads closed, we couldn’t get very close, but seeing the rest of the park and some wildlife did not disappoint. Alaska’s beauty leaves you breathless!!
