Smoky Mountains

The Smoky Mountains, officially part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, are a mountain range on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee in the eastern United States. Known for their mist-covered peaks and diverse ecosystems, they host rich plant and animal life, including ancient trees and abundant wildlife. The range's name comes from the atmospheric haze that often creates a smoky appearance around the mountains. Visitors enjoy hiking, scenic drives, and exploring historic sites, making it a popular destination for outdoor recreation and nature appreciation. The area offers a blend of natural beauty, cultural history, and outdoor adventure.
