- We took a Fall drive into the beautiful Cataloochee Valley.
Cataloochee is located in a very remote section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, on the NC side of the Park. It features many historic structures, a peaceful river, elk sightings, and also a small 27 site campground.
It is one of the most beautiful places to see Fall color.

Absolutely beautiful
We were just there October 20th. It's an absolutely must see in one's lifetime. A bull elk walked within 20ft of us and bugled. Also saw a calf nursing.
Truly a beautiful area. It's great, that you got to see the elk that close.
Thank you for the lovely tour. The smokies are our fav. Thanks also for including a quick message about our Savior Jesus Christ.
Absolutely. He's the reason that we have a promise of eternal life, so we want to give glory to Him.
Just finding y’all and so enjoy your travels. Thank you too for using this platform to share the love of God. You are being salt and light and it’s very much appreciated.
And your comments and words of encouragement are very much appreciated, as well. Thank you so much for letting us know.
I have not been here in a few years. You sure chose a beautiful time to go!
The words in the cemetery that y’all spoke were true and it’s so nice to take that opportunity to say them. I see many many cemeteries on hills here. I always assumed they put them there because it’s such a beautiful final resting spot for their loved ones. 🎶”Go rest high on that mountain…”🎶
I always get very contemplative in old cemeteries and old homesites. I always wonder about the people and realize they were once young and had a life… I think we all have a purpose , no matter how large or small, and it’s interesting how God uses us. Yall are doing good work in sharing your videos.
I see the sign about moving the rocks-
Ive wondered about allll these painted rocks etc on Etsy and all the rocks in landscaping etc and have actually wondered about the effects of people taking rocks home. Lol I mean, I’ve done my share of it coming up here- not so much from a river- but still. It was just the first sign I’ve seen addressing the rocks and I think it was for the salamanders, but anyway, funny thought I’ve had.
Ive wondered about that house color also. Im assuming the park found paint chips and matched it. Many colors fade and oxidize over time and I wonder if that color was originally a darker color. Or even a green. Would have most likely been a dark green. I know in the fabric dyeing and using natural pigments, as the age, they can change to almost an entirely different color spectrum. Just food for thought that I had. Im sure the park looked at paint chips, but I wonder how far they took the research from there.
I don’t have an arch yet either! Have y’all built one yet?!?! Lol
Shoot… my house is probably the size of half the upstairs lol
Yes all that milled lumber and all that was a nice house back then. I’ll have to look that place up one day. I need to ride over there. Seems like there was a spring house next to that house but I could be confusing it with another Place.
Ive often wondered about taking the road from Cosby. I saw it on the map and assumed it was a dirt road. I wondered if it was open and possible to go that way. I also wondered if it would be worth it, if there’s anything to see on it along the way.
This was a great video
Yes, the Fall is probably the most beautiful time to go there. We decided we wanted to make a Fall video there, months ago. We had gone once before, 2 years back, and loved it.
And yes, we want to also use our channel to glorify God and give the Gospel, and standing in a cemetery is a great time to do that. I did a Gospel presentation back in December, when we were in Los Angeles, standing at the grave of Don Knotts. We had visited Westwood Village Cemetery there in LA, and saw the graves of many famous celebrities. I told Shawnasi there was no way I was going to pass up that opportunity to talk about life, death, and eternity.
Not sure if you had subscribed then, but it was back in December.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 I think you are correct, because there was a white building that we could see over in the woods next to the house, and I do think there was a spring there.
We took the road from Cosby once. I'm glad to say we did it, but it was very long, and I think we'll just come in from Maggie Valley from now on.
I live just down the road from where you are.The Great Smoky mountains are beautiful ❤️
We were here during the same time as your video! This was definitely worth the bumps to get to it! Gods country in all its Beauty❤️❤️
Yes, is a beautiful place. Would've been nice to have met you when we were all there at the same time. Thanks for watching.
We went to that campground a few weeks ago. Have been several times and love it (except for the 7-mile road getting to it). I watch videos with my husband but really enjoyed this video so had to subscribe for myself to give my support. Thank you for sharing the Gospel on your channel.
You are very welcome! Thanks for subscribing, and we are so glad you enjoyed this video, and hope you enjoy the rest of the channel, as well.
What a beautiful spot to reflect on the message from the sermon.
Stunning scenery! I'm visiting the park soon. can't wait to get there park and take some photos!
Wow! What a rack on that bull elk!
Thank you for sharing your video! Well done!
Thank you for watching, and for commenting.
Beautiful video! Such a pretty area. Thank you for taking time to show us the Fall colors. We live in AL and try to get up to East TN and Western NC every chance we get! God Bless!
Thank you so much for watching, and for commenting!
I don’t think my nerves could handle the drive to get there. Thanks for taking us there through your video.
It's a rough road, that's for sure.
Beautiful 😊
I’m going in a couple of weeks. Sure hope it’s still this gorgeous then!!
There may still be some lingering color in the lower elevations by then. Hope you get to see some.
If you are into photography and the trees have shed their leaves check out the ground under the trees. Very often the ground will be covered with those colorful leaves and that makes beautiful photos. 🙂🍁🍂
Love Cataloochie Valley. We were there a few years ago in October but the color had not began to show. Hope to get back soon. Thanks for the ride along.
Thank you for watching! Glad your enjoyed it.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for showing us all we are missing in the fall. Great video
Thank you so much for watching.
Wow!!! The Great Smoky Mountains, my favorite place on Earth! Wish I was there, its so beautiful! Thank you for posting such a wonderful video.
Thank you for watching and letting us know you enjoyed it!
We were there last year. We drove a big F250 truck! My wife was having a panic attack 😂. We meet a road grader on the way in. That was interesting.
I would hate to have met a road grader on that road. I can't imagine. Just meeting another vehicle is bad enough.
Thank ya'll enjoyed the colors of fall 💜
Cemeteries back then were put on sides of mountains or hills where they could keep watch over the vallies.
That could be the reason. It just looks to me, like it would be harder to get the bodies and the headstones up that hill. This one was especially steep.
Hi guy’s, great video 👍 Thank you 🙏 God Bless!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
We went up there about ten years ago and at the time we had a dulley and my wife said never again because of the road in and out that we took.
Thank you for another great video. My mom's side of the family is buried in a cemetery that is straight up a hill. Very hard to get to. Impossible without a 4 wheel drive.
Be sure to get that arch built. 😃.
Lol...Yes, I'll have to work on that arch.
My wife's dad is also buried on top of a hill, in a small cemetery. But not as steep as this one.
Love the video!! We’re coming up Saturday to see some color!
Can’t wait!🍁
I hope there will still be some color left. I know they've had some wind since we were there this weekend, and some freezing nights. The drive in was actually more colorful than in the Valley itself. I hope you still get to see lots of it. Let me know how it is when you go.
It’s hit or miss every year for us! Once you plan a vacation around leaf color, your locked in! 😀
@@pamcamp1396 That is true.
If the color in Cataloochee is not what you are hoping for, I would suggest riding through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on Highway 441. You have a wide range of elevation there, and you are bound to see peak colors somewhere.
Once you get up high, the colors will be past peak, of course. But you should go through some very colorful areas on the way up. And maybe even consider Cades Cove, as it's lower elevation than Cataloochee.
Hope Cataloochee still has some great color, though.
I think the newspaper on the walls was intended to lighten the rooms because they were so dark. Remember, no electricity. Did you do the hike to the other house (at the end of the drive back into the valley)? It was beautiful.
If you are talking about the pathway at the end of the parking lot, which is as far as you can drive, we only walked out there a little ways to take some pictures. We did not hide to the house. I didn't even know there was a house out there.
@@NCMemoryMakers Yes, and it is a beautiful hike. We went there just this past Saturday. It's the Steve Woody house. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataloochee_(Great_Smoky_Mountains)#/media/File:Steve-woody-house-cataloochee.jpg
Great video! Sounds like the pastor brought good sermon...
Yes, he did.
Another great 👍 one
Thank you. It's a beautiful place.
@@NCMemoryMakers me and my Wife was just watching earlier and we never been in that area but next time we will and the Elk beautiful animals
@@dpmart3275 There are a lot of elk in that area. The best time to see them, is in the afternoon or evening. The road getting in there, is pretty rough. But it's a beautiful place once you get there.
Cemetery is on the top of the mountain for a reason. Flat surface that won't flood. Valleys can become flooded and also reason no homes are built there.
They're actually are home places in the valley, though. They are not necessarily in the lowest areas, but they are not up on hills, either. I'm not saying they shouldn't elevate the cemeteries a little bit. But I don't know why it was up such a steep incline. This one was incredibly steep, and I would imagine it took some doing to get the bodies and the headstones up there.
@@NCMemoryMakers I grew up in the mountains of East KY. People there don't consider the climb to be a problem. They love the view and think it's a beautiful place for the cemetery. Sure, there are homes in bottom areas, but people know what floods and won't build there.
Was about to sign off utube when you popped up love your vids
Thank you so much for watching!
💖
Nice video what is the name of the campground
Cataloochee Campground
Smoky mountains are beautiful. Check out my latest of the fall colors
Do you happen to remember the date of this drive?
This was October 16th, 2022.
@@NCMemoryMakers thank you
Hello from Gatlinburg Tennessee Great Smoky mountains national park...Nice job! If you come to Gatlinburg, let's hook up and do a video together! Best of luck
Thank you. Sounds good.
Did you come through small dirt road was told it was original road they did not want to make any changes
Roaring fork road motor trail was beautiful
@@phyllistrantham9274 Yes, Roaring Fork is beautiful.
As far as Cataloochee, we came in Cove Creek Road, right off of Interstate 40, near Maggie Valley.
What was the temperature like, was it cold?
That particular day was comfortable, to be late October. I don't remember it being cold, per se. But it wasn't warm, either. I would say upper 50s, maybe.
Id give anything to be there. California is beyond depressing
@@tomsimpson5317 This is a very beautiful and peaceful area. I hope you get to visit soon.
@@NCMemoryMakers are there any jobs there? Id love to move there. I was in Georgia before I had to move back to California
When was this taken?
This past weekend
@@NCMemoryMakers Thank you!
@@joels3659 You're very welcome
@@NCMemoryMakers Going to be there in a few days. Hope there is color left.
@@joels3659 There will probably be some, but we've had 2 freezing nights, and some wind. I'm afraid that may have taken some of the leaves off the trees.
The drive going in to Cataloochee was actually more colorful than Cataloochie itself.
Hope you get to see some nice color.
