Renowned for its mist-shrouded peaks, lush forests, and rich biodiversity, this iconic mountain range offers a plethora of unforgettable experiences for visitors of all ages.
The Smokies is a mountain range located in the Southeastern United States along the border of Tennessee and North Carolina.
The Smokies get their “smoky blue” from the fog that hangs over the mountains created by the respiration of trees, themselves.
The trees grow so densely in the area that when they “breath” the moisture they produce condenses into a fog.
Dive into refreshing waterfalls, hike lush trails, and explore endless adventures under the sun!
