Great Smoky Mountains
Flagship Guide
The country's most-visited national park — bears, ridgelines, and fast-changing weather, demystified.
A complete planning guide to the Tennessee and North Carolina sides of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Covers the parking-tag rule that trips up first-timers, Cades Cove and Newfound Gap Road, the hike up to Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome), day-hike options from an easy waterfall to a strenuous ridge walk, frontcountry and backcountry camping, and how to stay safe around the park's roughly 1,500 black bears.
