Great-Smoky-Mountains-Nationalpark (Great Smoky Mountains National Park)

Der Great-Smoky-Mountains-Nationalpark liegt in den Appalachen auf dem Gebiet der US-Bundesstaaten North Carolina und Tennessee. Er wurde am 15. Juni 1934 eingerichtet und gehört heute zum Weltnaturerbe. Der Wald, der den Park bedeckt, gehört zu den ältesten Wäldern der Erde und ist das größte Urwaldgebiet im Osten der USA.
Der Park ist mit zwischen acht und zehn Millionen Besuchern der meistbesuchte Nationalpark in den USA, trotzdem beschränkt sich der Verkehr auf die größeren Straßen. Die 450 Kilometer Straße abseits der Hauptwege und die 1400 Kilometer Wanderwege des Parks sind verhältnismäßig wenig frequentiert. Der Park wurde nach dem gleichnamigen Gebirgszug Great Smoky Mountains benannt, in dem er sich befindet.

    Awesome and beautiful place! You'll want to put this on your bucket list. Take time to stop by and dip your feet in the streams that run alongside the roads leading up the mountain. You won't regret it.

  • Breathtaking views throughout, so many places to pull over and take it all in, my daughter loved exploring in the rocks/creek, and we had the opportunity to see elk up close. Amazing!!!

  • While the views may not be as spectacular as Yosemite or Yellowstone, this is still a beautiful park with great hiking and forever views. The many original settler cabins provide a window into the past. We saw deer, turkeys, elk, and bear. And while we encountered crowds at the most popular attractions when we visited in early June, it was easy to find great trails where we were the only hikers. Definitely worth the trip.

  • WOW!!! What an amazing adventure. This park is absolutely gorgeous. The rivers and streams are just stunning, and there seems to be something exciting around every corner. There is a lot of history within the park as well. Do yourself a favor and stop off at the many attractions to really see what it was like back in the day. The wildlife and numerous trails are all worth the trip.
