Smoky Mountains Hot Tub Nirvana © William Britten use with permission only

Is it too decadent to grab your coffee and jump into a Smoky Mountains hot tub first thing in the morning? Of course not! The summer air has a hint of snap too it early in the morning, and the warm water feels so good. And that view!

Later in the day there will be hiking and sweating, huffing and puffing. This morning, there’s just the hot tub nirvana now …

As always, the door is open and the welcome mat is out at the William Britten Gallery along the historic Arts and Crafts Trail on Glades Rd. in Gatlinburg, TN. You’ll find the complete display of my Smoky Mountains photography to tempt you with a special Smokies memory to take home with you.
