STOP. Mingo Falls and Soco Falls are both labeled “easy,” but they don’t feel the same. One drains stamina with 160 stairs. The other demands balance on a steep rope descent. Full breakdown on my channel. #MingoFalls #SocoFalls #CherokeeNC #SmokyMountains
If you’re going to Soco Falls, don’t judge it from the upper overlook. In most seasons, you barely see anything from up there. The real view means committing to the steep trail down — and the climb back up hits differently. Full breakdown on my channel. #SocoFalls #CherokeeNC #SmokyMountains

I love a foggy valley in the mountains (Cherokee, North Carolina) This photo is of a distant mountain ridge that is mostly obscured by a thick morning fog rising from the valley below. The foreground of this photo contains silhouettes of “naked” trees.

This photo is of Mingo Falls in Cherokee, North Carolina. Mingo Falls is a 120 foot waterfall. It cascades over a few small cliff-like ledges and creates a beautiful veil of falling water. The waterfall is framed with greenery from the surrounding forest

![Large oval plaque over an enclosed fire.
There is an inscription on the plaque as follows:
The Eternal Flame
This fire was kindled with a flame from a Cherokee council fire that has been burning in Oklahoma since 1838. The original fire was taken to Oklahoma when the Cherokee Nation was removed West over the infamous "Trail of Tears". In May 1951 four eastern band of Cherokee tribal leaders from the Qualla Boundary, North Carolina retraced that trail of heartbreak and brought live coals from the Oklahoma fire. The eternal flame here at the mountainside theatre was kindled from the century old Oklahoma fire on June 23rd 1951
May this fire burn eternally as a symbol of the strength of the Cherokee people and may it honor those Cherokee who have gone before.
Psalm 121: 1-2 in the Cherokee syllabary

Approximately 10 feet/3-meter-tall statue on a two-level rock platform. The statue is brown, sculpted from single Giant California Sequoia ("Redwood") log. (The tree species was named after the man.) Represented is the top of the torso to the top of a tall headdress. The face and head are the main subject of the sculpture.
In a nighttime view, a black metal column about 3 feet / one meter in diameter is lighted from within. Cut out of the metal are symbols used in the Cherokee language allowing yellow light to pass through. Each symbol represents a syllable in the language.

While at #CherokeeNC for the July 4 powwow, I saw the memorial for Sequoyah in front of the museum. He was the Cherokee polymath who developed the "syllabary" for their language.
He assigned symbols to the language's syllables allowing […]
