When you see a picture like the one below, you really have to drop that jaw in absolute awe. What a beautiful world, hey? No. That’s wrong. What a beautiful STATE. Tennessee, folks. It’s only Tennessee that could bring you this beauty. Well, Tennessee and kind of North Carolina…? This is Roan Mountain State Park, and it bleeds a tad bit over the state line. But all we’re choosing to think that one state couldn’t contain all this beauty – even if it is the grandiose Volunteer State. Take a look at what this beautiful park has to offer – you’ll never want to leave.

Plus, there are yellow flowers too! It wouldn’t be complete without florals in all the colors of the rainbow.

And orange (!!!!)
