Welcome to National Park #46, the Great Smoky Mountains! Spend a week with me exploring this national treasure. I’ll give you my advice from personal experience on how to deal with the inevitable crowds. No wonder there are so many people, the mountain views, the rivers, streams, and waterfalls, the fresh air, the wildlife, the hiking, history, and of course the commercialized tourist towns just outside the park are all big attractions. Whatever you’re looking for, it’s all here!
