The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is hands down the most beautiful place to drive through in Tennessee – pretty much ever. It’s in the winter, though, that we’re truly afforded a beautiful view of the mountainous vistas and snowcapped mountains. East Tennessee is truly a great study in beauty.
The Great Smoky Mountains offers unique views and beautiful vistas for the weary traveller. As one of the most visited national parks - THE most visited, excuse us - there's quite a bit to live up to.
There are multiple roadways running through and around the park, pulling together a couple hundred miles of roadway.
