The Ocoee river

On our way from Atlanta to Texas we drove through the Ocoee river gorge in Southeastern Tennessee. Over millions of years, the Ocoee River has cut a steep, winding channel into a mountainside of hard rock in scenic Cherokee National Forest. It was the location of the 1996 Olympic whitewater competitions.

Today we stopped by to have a look at the rafts and kayaks navigating the rapids.
