10 days in Great Smoky Mountains National Park Itinerary

Great Smoky Mountains National Park contains some of the highest mountains east of the Mississippi River, but it's the ease of access that makes this national park the United States' most visited.

Family-friendly places like Grotto Falls Parking and Roaring Fork will thrill your kids. And it doesn't end there: stroll around Chimneys Picnic Area, stroll through Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, hike along Alum Cave Trail, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Clingmans Dome.
