The most frequented national park in the country, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for its forestland spanning the boundary between North Carolina and Tennessee.

You may come across wild black bears whose behavior is often unpredictable. So, take your precautions. Do you want to see wildflowers like hepaticas or last asters? You will find them blooming in abundance throughout the year. There are many camping grounds inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park and in the neighboring areas.

You can also consider exploring the gateway towns of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Cades Coves is the most-visited tourist spot in the park. Visit its churches, historic homes, and appreciate the beauty of the mountains. Enjoy activities like camping under the stars, spending time near the cool waterfall, and visiting a historic mill.
