Great Smoky Mountains National Park
America’s Favorite National Park
Tucked away in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains lies Great Smoky Mountains National Park. White-tailed deer graze among the fern-covered slopes, and red-tailed hawks soar through clear skies. A chorus of songbirds singing with babbling streams form a natural symphony that echoes through Great Smoky’s verdant hollows. Throughout the seasons, Great Smoky's character shifts. In spring, hillsides burst into a field of wildflowers as black bears amble through dense foliage. Summer brings lush canopies of green, and the fireflies light up the night in a display of magic. Autumn stitches Great Smoky’s woodlands in warm colors, inviting its travelers to witness a tapestry woven by the hands of the changing seasons.
