Just two miles from this idyllic scene lies the main thoroughfare through Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The six-lane highway carries most of the 30,000 people that visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park every day.
And if that’s not enough, the road is lined with restaurants, hotels, dinner theaters, theme parks and all other manner of roadside distractions. Despite the six lanes, traffic generally crawls through Pigeon Forge most of the day.
Two thoughts:
1. You don’t have to go far off the beaten path to find repose.
2. Most people don’t think to leave the beaten path.

That is a beautiful picture.
Indeed many people don't step off the beaten path so never discover the beauty that can be found there.
