Great Smoky Mountains History: A Tennessee Mountain Legacy

The Great Smoky Mountains are part of the Appalachian chain that runs along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The Smoky Mountains are amongst the oldest of the mountains located along the Appalachian chain. The age of these mountains that run through both eastern Tennessee and North Carolina, accounts for the unique rolling hill shape of the terrain. Over time the processes of weathering have eroded the mountains to the altitude where they now stand.

The Smoky Mountains are named for the misty, cloudlike haze that envelops them during much of the year. While other mountain ranges demonstrate this same cloudy haze, this phenomenon is most pronounced in the Smoky Mountains. These mountains are responsible for the springing up of towns such as Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park (which makes up 71 miles of the mountain range) is a treasure to visiting tourists, nature lovers, and geologists alike. The Park was established in 1930. To visitors, the draw is undoubtedly the stunning beauty of the area. People come back year after year to stay in a Smoky Mountain cabin in order to gaze at the lush vegetation of the Tennessee and North Carolina hills. Of course, the development of full-fledged resort centers in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg has only added to the draw of the area. great smoky mountains national park, gsmnp, tn cabins

Fall is a particularly popular time to visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, for it is in October and November that the tree cover in the Smoky Mountains turns to brilliant hues - lighting up the horizon with vibrant shades of red, yellow, orange and gold. The colors you see here are unlike what you will experience anywhere else in the world.
