The Great Smoky Mountains are one of America’s most visited national parks, and for good reason. This majestic mountain range is among the oldest in the country, with trees older than when America’s forefathers stepped foot there. It gets its name from the morning fog that’s often present, but it’s also known for its rich flora and fauna. It’s no wonder that visitors from across the country and around the world travel all the way to witness the beauty that it has to offer through hiking to its several peaks, camping in its lush forests and more. It’s also located on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, allowing visitors to choose which state to stay in comfortably.
