Eastern Tennessee

Great Smokey Mountains National Park

Blue, like smoke.

America’s most visited national park, Great Smoky Mountains, is an ideal getaway. Hike, camp, and experience one of America’s oldest mountain ranges. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park region is divided down its length by the Tennessee – North Carolina border.

Called the Smokies due to the ever-present morning fog so be sure to capture the different shades of blue when taking photographs! It’s a stunning sight to see!

A few of our favorite sightings: fireflies, elk, salamanders, wildflowers, White-tailed deer, waterfalls and the Appalachian Trail.
