Hiking and camping opportunities abound throughout the state's ancient mountain ranges, many of which have eroded into beautiful rolling monadnock hills and feature spectacular carved rock formations. North Carolina is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most-visited national park in the United States.
