Top 10 Sights at Great Smoky Mountains National Park | Plus tips for visiting | Know before you go!

We went to the GAP through the Gatlinberg trail during a sunny winter when ice was melting, & I saw the most beautiful things I've seen in my life, cascading waters by the mountain Side, punchbowl falls with snow around, plunging falls in caves, truly breathtaking..thanks for this video, brings back memories.

Go deep into the Balsams, part of the Great Smokys, and that is where we courted. She lived there; schooled in a tiny k-12. Beautiful like her mountains. We courted in mid century, last century. Her family was from Cades Cove. Her family name is on a building in Cullowhee, home of Western Carolina U. Her school taught her well, author, business owner, wife, mother. 60 years married. What a wonderful creature that the Lord created. The Smokys were almost impenetrable back then; no big roads, we traveled slowly behind a pickup or a Florida plate. Up highway 107 we could drive behind a waterfall - a road her mother helped survey. Had to lay her to her rest in 2021. Beautiful mountains. Beautiful girl. Beautiful woman, mother and grandmother.

I’ve been here a dozen times, but you still pointed out things I haven’t seen, thanks!

Thank you for really giving us details that really matter! Love the video💪🏼

This list is so helpful for our trip this summer! I have a goal of seeing all the national parks in the US too so I subscribed!! 💕

Thanks for taking me along. We hope to go there in 2022. Your filming was great & the info very worthwhile.

The Smokies are at the top of our list for national parks. We have been to most of the places that you mentioned and hope to make it to the rest. Thanks for sharing. Lynn and Danny

Excellent video with good tips especially for people who are a little north of 40. We are going in mid June and I appreciate the detail of how strenuous the hikes are as well as the parking situations.

Smokey Mountains are awesome, very pretty. Thanks for the video 👍

thank you! very informative

It was an unexpected surprise when we "herd" the elks bugling.😉

Great photography!

The Sinks is a nice swimming hole in the summer months

Excellent video! I've watched many videos preparing for my visit to Great Smoky Mountain National Park and I have to say this is definitely one of my favorites. Not overly long but full of useful information. Well done! I'm a new subscriber now and look forward to watching more of your videos. I also love visiting national parks, state parks and wildlife refuges as well. I go in the shoulder seasons to avoid crowds and so far that has worked. But I feel COVID put our parks on more people's radar looking for outside safe places to visit so I expect the parks have more visitors now. Thank you for sharing this video!
