This spectacular range presents an impressive visage, comprised of tapering ridges and mountains sheathed in alluring verdure which captivate and awe all those who venture here. Encompassing the eponymous national park, the Great Smoky Mountains attribute their name to the fog which shrouds the peaks, lending the range mysterious and fascinating nuances. Featuring a landscape dominated by scenic rivers, creeks, jagged rocks and domes, the sloping inclines of this region are draped in hardwood forests and undulating meadows, with strips of wide Appalachian clearings often emerging from amidst the verdant greenery. Wildflowers can be spotted here in abundance, as can a variety of diverse flora and fauna which accentuate the regal beauty of this stunning UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site. The "Smokies" as they are referred to, are home to an array of wildlife, and visitors to the mountains will be delighted by glimpses of the black bears, squirrels, deer, woodpeckers, elk and other species which roam amid the extensive foliage.
