Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Where Appalachian heritage meets timeless mountain beauty
Straddling the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a landscape of rolling ridges, ancient forests, and ever-shifting mist. Visitors come for panoramic overlooks, winding drives, waterfalls, and a glimpse of mountain life preserved in time. Wildlife thrives here—from black bears to salamanders—while traces of Cherokee and pioneer history echo through valleys and cabins. Whether you hike, drive, or explore with a self-guided audio tour, the Smokies reward curiosity with natural wonder at every turn.
