Oldranger is right. I wanted to so badly recommend adding the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The rhododendron would be in full bloom by June. The beauty of the flowers and Blue Ridge Mountains combined with easier hiking compared to the west. Then the venture into Western North Carolina, is just plain remarkable. The reason I didn't mention it is because if I had the option to go west, I'll go west in a heartbeat. cool
