Gatlinburg, Tennessee is most famous as the western entrance to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The city itself claims fame as a skiing resort, and there are numerous other attractions nearby that keep people in town before they head to the mountains. Gatlinburg is noted for its mountain handicraft shops, and local points of interest include the Homespun Valley Mountaineer Village and the Christus Gardens, a series of dioramas depicting the life of Christ. But most come to see and enjoy the Great Smokey Mountains.

The Great Smokey Mountains National Park is 20 miles wide and some 54 miles long. The park was established in 1934 to preserve the last remaining sizeable area of southern primeval hardwood forest in the United States. It covers over 520,000 acres and it contains some of the highest peaks of the Appalachian Mountains.

Summits and ridges are crowned with a forest of red spruce and Fraser fir, except in the open areas where purple and pink blossoming rhododendron can be seen. Other beautiful trees and flowers cover the area, making it a site to behold. Hiking is the most common activity along these parts, whether a day trip or as part of hike up the length of the entire Appalachian Trail. Some of the families who first settled this area have descendents who live and farm in much the same way they did. The site of those farms was designated a World Heritage Site in 1983.

Visitors come to the Smokies, the most popular area administered by the US National Park Service, to hike, fish, camp, ski, whitewater raft, and enjoy this well-preserved natural area. There are world-class spas as well as a few theme parks and resorts throughout the park. All of these draw their inspiration from the abundant beauty of the area.
