Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Ridge upon ridge of endless forest straddles the border between North Carolina and Tennessee in Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. World renowned for the diversity of its plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and the
quality of its remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture, this is America’s most visited national park. Great
Smoky Mountains National Park is a hiker's paradise with over 800 miles of maintained trails ranging from short
leg-stretchers to strenuous treks that may require backcountry camping. But hiking is not the only reason for visiting the
Smokies. Car camping, fishing, picnicking, wildlife viewing and auto touring are popular activities. Most visitors come to
the Smokies hoping to see a bear. Some 1,600 bears live in the park. From the big animals like bears, deer, and elk, down
to microscopic organisms, the Smokies have the most biological diversity of any area in the world's temperate zone. The
park is a sanctuary for a magnificent array of animal and plant life, all of which is protected for future generations to
enjoy.
