Imagine row upon row of misty mountain ranges with clear rushing steams which showcase seasonal beauty and peacefulness. Exclude the hustle of lucrative business. What you have is Smoky Mountain National Park.
Of course the thousands of daily park visitors have to stay, eat and seek various forms of amusement. Thus giving life to Cherokee, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Still the reason they all come is to experience the pristine beauty of 'land of a thousand smokes.'
