Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a gorgeous park that sits on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. The park is known for its stunning landscapes, including year-round wildflowers, lush forests, rivers, waterfalls, and streams. Hiking is a popular pastime here, and the famous Appalachian Trail even passes through the park. The highest peak is Clingmans Dome, which is topped with an observation tower offering gorgeous views of the surrounding areas and the misty mountains. The towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge sit at the base of the park on the Tennessee side and offer seemingly endless opportunities for entertainment and fun.
