This video from January 2026 shows the winter scenery near the Townsend Wye. This location in Townsend TN sits where the Little River and Laurel Creek meet. During summer months visitors come here for swimming and tubing but the colder season offers different views along the river. Remember that a parking tag is required if you plan to park for more than 15 minutes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. #SmokyMountains #TownsendTN #Tennessee | TheSmokyMountains.com

An easy waterfall stop inside Guy W. Talbot State Park in the Columbia River Gorge. 🌲 Latourell Falls drops about 224 feet straight over columned basalt cliffs often covered in bright green lichen. 💧 A short 0.2-mile paved walk leads to the base of the falls. 👣 A 2-mile loop trail connects upper and lower viewpoints through forest scenery. 🌿 A simple, scenic stop to add to any Columbia River Gorge drive. 📸 #ColumbiaRiverGorge #LatourellFalls #Oregon #pacificnorthwest | The PNW Bucket List
