America's Most Visited National Park Awaits!
I’ve lived in the Smoky Mountains area for over 45 years and love making trip planning easy. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park spans more than 500,000 acres in Tennessee and North Carolina and offers far more than scenic mountain views. From historic valleys and cascading waterfalls to vibrant mountain towns and unforgettable outdoor adventures, the Smokies are a destination you'll want to visit again and again.

My best Smoky Mountains tip? Pick a home base close to the adventure that might take all day. As a local, I can tell you there's so much to see and do that most attractions can easily be enjoyed as day trips.
