High of Smoky Mountain

High of Smoky Mountain

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a United States National Park that includes the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains and a part of the Blue Ridge Mountains which are a part of the larger chain. It offers undulating ridges, forested valleys, and tumbling streams.

The true beauty of the park lies in one key detail: 80 inches (203 centimeters) of rain a year. The flow feeds primeval hardwood forests and innumerable creeks that tumble down hazy mountainsides.

1) The Alum Cave Trail of Mount Le Conte is the most popular of the five paths that lead to the summit of the mountain.

2) Another popular hiking trail leads up to the pinnacle of the Chimney Top mountains.

3)The Laurel Falls and Cling man’s Dome trails offer relatively easy, short, paved paths.

After hiking and simple sightseeing, fishing is the most popular activity in the national park, although there are strict regulations under which fishing must be conducted. Horseback riding , bicycling is all also available within the park.
