Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Travelogue, Travel,#BlogchatterA2ZHow can I not mention one of the most visited national parks in the USA? Because of its easy accessibility in the Northeast and its lush landscape with forests, streams, waterfalls, scenic drives, and mountains, this is a preferred vacation destination for many. This park contains some of the highest mountains in North America covering around 850 miles of hiking trails. This park also includes the central part of the famous Appalachian Trail (from Georgia to Maine).
