We continued on down the valley, passing by the Beech Grove School, and discovered several elk grazing along the tree line.
We pulled over on the side of the road to spend some time watching them.
After a few minutes we watched as more elk rushed into the field, and we wondered what had startled them. Soon our question was answered when two dogs came into view, chasing the elk around, and herding them into the open field.
Soon after the dogs appeared a park ranger showed up, and proceeded into the field.
At some point, before the ranger could get near the dogs, they stopped harassing the elk.
Finally, we watched as the elk disappeared into the trees.
One last photo of a creek which flows through the valley.

Very nice sir! Looks like it was beautiful up there. Is that all the photos of the interior of that building?
It was a gorgeous day! I only took one other photo of the Palmer House interior. All the rooms looked about the same. The ceilings were very low. I couldn’t stand up straight in certain parts of the house, but you would have no problem.
We just returned from the same trip,my famimly and I spent Christmas in Maggie Valley, it was fantastic.
