The Great Smoky Mountains, straddling the border between Tennessee and North Carolina, are renowned for their mist-covered peaks and diverse ecosystems. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States, offering scenic drives, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing opportunities. The park is particularly beautiful in the fall, when the foliage transforms into a vibrant tapestry of colors. The nearby towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge offer a range of attractions, from theme parks and live shows to shopping and dining.
