The park contains some of the highest mountains in the eastern United States, including Clingmans Dome, Mount Guyot, and Mount Le Conte. The border between the two states runs northeast to southwest through the center of the park. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Georgia to Maine. With 12.5 million visitors in 2019, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States.
There is another stretch of 'smoky', where cameramen can find their paradise, which is quite devoid of cameramen. This stretch of mountain valley needs few hour of cross in a plane and is filled with a beautiful coat of flowering trees and although I didn't enter the valley I can assure any cameramen that they will find a multitude of animal life to film. But it is in South China.
I lived 18 miles up the mountain from Laurel Falls. I feel lucky to have spent all that time in nature every day. It was thrilling. Thank you, Mom. You provided us with so many interesting adventures. RIP
The Great Smokies was my back yard as a kid growing up. I dream of the day of my return. I miss this place more than anywhere I have traveled throughout my life. I thank God for those mountains.
Everytime I (trucker) pass by look at the sign ' the mountains are calling ' I traveled all the states except Alaska & Hawaii, it's a beautiful country,
I could never be a trucker, it's really hard work. But I would love to do more traveling and I'd bet you've seen some cool stuff throughout your driving. What are some of the coolest/weirdest stuff you've seen while working?
I was born in Sevierville TN, and my heart still awaits my return. This was great to watch 👍 and oh my god! I remember my aunt Leslie lived where there were SO MANY fireflies!!! I could run with an open mason jar and have it filled within a few minutes. Not even. The most magical little kid memory 🤗
Have you seen the lighting bugs that light up all at the same time? They say you only see on Jake's creek TN. side. I've seen them on Forney creek nc. side. Really cool to see.
If you've ever been there it is truly magic and when you leave it unfortunately that's when you realize you left the most magical beautiful place on Earth
Awesome documentary! I'm 45 and have lived 2-3 hours west of the Smokies my entire life. Been there dozens of times, yet I still learned things about the Park that I never knew, thanks to this documentary. Well done and thank you!
@@ryanbaker7404 wow. Been through there lots. Beautiful country up on the mountain, and been to Fall Creek Falls several times. I'm actually closer to you as I live in Baxter. Went to Upperman and we played you guys in sports. In my day there was a guy named Tracy Curtis from there. Great basketball player. I think he was 6' 7"or better.
I'd heard of the Great Smoky Mountains, but never passed through them until I was in my 50s. I was surprised at how beautiful they were, as I grew up with the Grand Canyon nearby. I saw beauty everywhere I traveled, but didn't imagine the quiet beauty of the Smoky Mtns.
@@elyace I always chalk it up to two kinds of people. One type loves the forests and mountains, the other loves beaches and coasts. River/creek people vs. ocean people 😆. I'll say though, while I can appreciate both, there's just nothing at all like the Appalachian foothills in mid-spring!
As a British visitor to the States I always feel that many Americans don't fully appreciate the stunning variety of landscapes they have ; from forests to deserts to mountains . Guys : you have everything ! Don't take it for granted . My own favourites : the South West / Montana and Deep South (Louisiana / Mississippi ).
Can't speak for everyone but I know I sure appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed your visit/s. Even living here though, it's not inexpensive to travel from one end of the nation to the other.
If you open your eyes, you see it, and it is vast and marvelous indeed. Unfortunately, the society / culture is preoccupied with meaningless advocating of inane social issues and simply can’t see the forest before the trees. Flying coast to coast one realizes how HUGE the country really is, and how “social issues” are quite local in nature and have no real impact on the nation as a whole, except in their own minds. Get outside a little more often and you may come to realize that. It’s a great big beautiful country!
As someone who lives in the Smokey mountains in Western North Carolina I'd say this Documentary did a pretty good job. It's a beautiful place and hope as many people as possible get to visit and take in the scenery.
I've been a few times and feel in love with the Smoky mountains in TN! I live in FL and I'm planning to move this year to NC or TN. I'm content as long as I'm in the mountains! I don't understand how everyone doesn't want to live there, but it's a good thing they don't, lol.
@@hleigh7201 everyone does want to live here in Asheville there are so many people that moved here especially in the last 5 years it's caused land prices to go up like crazy
We took a week-long vacation in Tennessee a few years ago, and I would be perfectly happy to live in those beautiful mountains! I grew up in northeastern Pennsylvania, and we too have beautiful mountains. 🇺🇸
@@andrewvu1752 Now that’s a tough one, having only spent a week in Tennessee. And I’ve since been informed by my sisters that Pennsylvania doesn’t have mountains, only “hills.” But to me they’re mountains, just not as high as Tennessee’s mountains. I can’t decide which are more beautiful. I live 200 miles from my hometown, and I take the “back way” when I drive there. It’s all winding roads through forests, state forests, small towns. Even saw bears crossing the road one time! And now that I live in another state, the mountains/hills always strike me as beautiful all over again when I see them. Guess I’d have to vote for Pennsylvania’s mountains, since I know them better. 🇺🇸
Walking a narrow ridge on AT I heard a loud fluttering, sounded like helicopters. Looking toward the sound I saw a flock of turkeys trying to fly. They went a short distance about 3-4 feet off ground. Fantastic to witness.
This documentary is so incredibly beautiful. It actually made me cry. I lived in the smokies up until a couple of years ago and I miss it so much. Thank you for this wonderful piece of work 💓.
I have lived all over the country and Mexico, The Smokies never leave your heart. When deciding where I want to spend my last years I chose to return to Blount County. I am a 78 year old woman and spend my time in my yard where I have a large garden where I donate the food to the food bank. I have planted native trees and shrubs for the wildlife which I love to watch.
Thank you for making this beautiful documentary!! We just returned from our vacation in Tennessee! It’s absolutely beautiful! And so are the wonderful people in Tennessee! Blessings to you all! ❤
Kind of fell apart once we surpassed survival. I pray humanity evolves beyond the destruction of consumerism and finance!! Cry institutional freedom hairless monkeys 🙈
What some people never know is that the Appalachia plateau was once the highest mountain range only to to be exposed to erosion over millions of years. Nothing can ever compare to this diverse mountain range and its diverse environment.
Please keep making nature docs free. I love all of them. This one is one of my favorites...incl the other US national park. The narrator, omg, he js rediculously awesome!!! His everything is excellent. Great orator, entertaining. His voice is simply "the one". Your docs are educational, entertaining, relaxing, soothing. Needless to say they are watched again and again and again.... always the same impact :) Be safe out there. Keep 'em comin 😁
Wonderful to see I love Mother Nature Big Thank you So lovely to see the wild flowers Muma Bear and Cubs The Great Smoky reminds me of south Africa and the clouds that gather like ocean wave over the mountains Ants are fascinating to watch ,love those Turkeys . Yvonne mullion Cornwall England
No one who watches this film could ever say there is no God! God made all of the creatures so perfectly. Only a fool would not see this in the wonderful beauty of nature. And this park is only a small fraction of what exists on our planet. There will never be another planet so beautifully & wonderfully made unless our God creates it. Money spent on space exploration is such a waste. Humans need to enjoy all that our planet has to offer and appreciate it while we can. Thank you for the makers of this film and for airing it! So wonderful!
Exactly, the design is too complex to be anything but God...I cringe when they say millions of years and evolution, they are taking away credit from the actual designer
Smoky Mountain born and raised. I’ve lived my whole life here on the Tennessee side. I’m from Blount County and I’ve spent the last 25 years in Townsend because that’s where my husband was born and raised….so when I say I’m from the Smokies, I really mean it. If you’re reading this and you plan to visit the park, please please leave your spray paint and sharpies at home. This place has become so trashed with graffiti that people have even taken to spray painting their names on trees as if someone gives a damn that “Chad was here.” And your trash doesn’t belong on the side of the road or on a trail. We have trash up to our ears. It started in 2015ish when people found out via social media that the outdoors exists. When they found out they could get some attention on social media for posting pictures from here, the park began its decline into a trash filled space. All the “nature lovers” just throw their trash out the window of their cars. Don’t believe me?…drive through and watch the sides of the roads. Stop at an overlook and count the beer cans and bottles. If you smoke, put your cigarette butt in your back pocket until you get to your car. Why not make national parks and state parks the ONE AREA you choose to just not open that window and drop out your trash? Just wait a couple of hours and throw it out elsewhere if you just have to do it and you just can’t wait until you’re at a trash can. And above all…feeding a bear for a photo makes you a horrible human being, not a photographer. If that’s your plan, nobody wants you here. The mountains, trees, and wildlife don’t want you here either. They hate those people. Just know that…if you throw out your trash or feed the wildlife, even the mountains themselves don’t like you and they don’t want your feet on them.
I walked the Appalachian trail in north western New Jersey....this video reminded me of those wonderful times in the woods. Been to the Catskill mountains, also to New York's Adirondack mountains. Years ago I remember being offered an office job in New York City. The monies on the table was, well great! However I decided that I didn't want to spend a good part of my life looking out of the window to another large towering building. So I decided to go the transportation route...I never looked back. Now that I'm a "Young Retiree"? I've managed to get a great part time job that has me traveling thru the New England states twice a week,. straight through to Maine coastline..Beautiful scenery ( I even get to goof off and go for a hike). Hopefully in the near future I get t a chance to visit the Smoky Mountains. Have relatives that live in North Carolina. I'm very fortunate that I can visit such beauty in my country. Thanks so much for this wonderful video!
That's amazing. My family stayed in a Holiday Inn Express that was located in the midst of them (on the North Carolina side from what I remember). Not as romantic, but it had some great views, including a SPECTACULAR pool built inside a sunroom that gave views of the mountains and closer forests in three directions. The morning my parents and I went down to use it, we were bewildered to find that snow was on the ground outside, but the pool and room itself were pretty comfortable (Appalachia apparently had a longer winter that year). So there we were, swimming with snowy forests and summits outside. It is one memory I will hopefully never forget.
Wow! No wonder my grandma who was from Tennessee told me she hoped someday i would go there on vacation. I literally Just discovered this channel & Subscribed, rang 🛎 & gave 👍
Born and raised in the Appalachian mountains I live a couple hours from the smokey mountains I have been there many times I love it. We usually go about three times a year
This documentary is absolutely stunning - rich in so VERY many ways. Bravo to all involved in the making of this. A dear friend who lives in England shared this w/me earlier today... I live in this area of The USA and absolutely love so very much about it. I certainly did not know many things fabulously featured in this film. I'm originally from New England and miss "my" ocean so much but have fallen equally in love with these mountains... ~Thank you soooo very much for this magnificent and in depth look into these hills and the life within. 🥰
Absolutely one of the "Best Nature videos" I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I would rate it 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you so much for your masterpiece.❤ Cudos to you guys-cannot wait to visit-😁
Oh the wonders of nature, God Be Praised! I've enjoyed the documentary as a whole and more especially the wildlife, landscapes and of course you the narrator for such brilliant & articulate speech! Cheers and Good luck! Khadeeja Alghali-Rahman (London, UK)🌻
Ronlynn of the duhare here, the monoliths are a part of the beginning of this whole planet, I'm on to a prime fifty years moving soul of the range, these are my ancestors and protectors of my lineage, I hope to not see, hear or feel any unfamiliar groan or rumble beneath my feet....
This is why so many Americans never leave their country. We have Florida we have the upland south the mid Atlantic, the Atlantic north east, great lakes region, so many unique places to visit. Very lucky.
I’m in Mississippi. One of my first memories is my parents going to gattlinberg and leaving me behind while my grandma watched me. When they came back I was a baby so I wanted a toy like an action figure. They gave me this black teddy bear. I was so mad I had a tantrum through it in my toy box. A few days later I ran to my room before bed and grabbed my bear and realized I love him. I never let him leave my side, I named him berry. I don’t know what happened I just loved him. Lol I got tears thinking bout it. Anyways my parents took me to the Smokey mountains to show my teddy bear actual black bears “I wanted to show him his family” I got too see actual black bears and he was with me. It is one of my best childhood memories. I been back to gattlinberg/pigeon forge and it’s honestly my favorite place I’ve ever been. I just love the mountains ever since that vacation
Great place I wouldn’t want to live any where else in the world I can be in the smokie mountains and on the parkway in about five minutes and on a good clear day I can see why they call the smokies it truly has a blue haze color to them I glad I got to grow up in the mountains you see a lot of wild life

I once lived near the Park and hacked on the Appalachian Trail many times. Winter and Fall hiking are beautiful.
Good effort to present such nature before ordinary Indian like me with no scope to tour this world. Great gratitude to all of u
There r some nature lovers phographing at the cost of life,money make scope 4 us to quench the thirst to enjoy nature of God.
Any kind hearted will invite this 67y old Indian for 15days visit of mnp at my cost.

Growing up, my family every year vacationed in the Smokies before summer. What great memories ❤ This was before it became popular to do so.

Local here.. Please if you visit leave no trace. It's really sad to see all the graffiti from visitors on some our families old homesteads!
So true! There should behefty fines.Ive been to many of the cliff mountain tops and theres graffitie everywhere.Its so wrong.Such an eyesore.
Thank you for reminding us of that!!!!
Absolutely one of the "Best Nature videos" I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I would rate it 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you so much for your masterpiece.❤ Cudos to you guys-cannot wait to visit-😁
Oh the wonders of nature, God Be Praised! I've enjoyed the documentary as a whole and more especially the wildlife, landscapes and of course you the narrator for such brilliant & articulate speech! Cheers and Good luck! Khadeeja Alghali-Rahman (London, UK)🌻
This National Park must NEVER be reduced in size. In fact, it needs to be expanded. Developers would tear every tree down, if they were allowed.
Heck they arw trying...too many tourists and the mountains are shrinking with all the developments
Ronlynn of the duhare here, the monoliths are a part of the beginning of this whole planet, I'm on to a prime fifty years moving soul of the range, these are my ancestors and protectors of my lineage, I hope to not see, hear or feel any unfamiliar groan or rumble beneath my feet....
Absolute LOVE The Smokies!!

This is why so many Americans never leave their country. We have Florida we have the upland south the mid Atlantic, the Atlantic north east, great lakes region, so many unique places to visit. Very lucky.

😮 WOW WOW WOW SO Beautiful LOVELY Peaceful Place
Just amazing thanks for your time and patients
I lived in the blue ridge mountain area and along with the smoky mountains they are the most beautiful places I've been.
Very well done commentary! I am very impressed.
I’m in Mississippi. One of my first memories is my parents going to gattlinberg and leaving me behind while my grandma watched me. When they came back I was a baby so I wanted a toy like an action figure. They gave me this black teddy bear. I was so mad I had a tantrum through it in my toy box.
A few days later I ran to my room before bed and grabbed my bear and realized I love him. I never let him leave my side, I named him berry. I don’t know what happened I just loved him. Lol I got tears thinking bout it. Anyways my parents took me to the Smokey mountains to show my teddy bear actual black bears “I wanted to show him his family” I got too see actual black bears and he was with me. It is one of my best childhood memories. I been back to gattlinberg/pigeon forge and it’s honestly my favorite place I’ve ever been. I just love the mountains ever since that vacation
What an enjoyable program! I loved seeing all the wildlife and flowers.
Amazing documentary! Thank you for uploading ❤ Special thanks to the narrator.
A breathtaking insight into nature!
Beautiful and spirit lifting. Thank you.
I was raised in the mountains in the northeast but when I moved down south I was shocked by the size and beauty of the smokey and blueridge mountains.
The film quality in these videos are exemplary. Thankyou.
Thank you👍👍👍👍
Amazing creation these bears, how the whole cycle happens is breathtaking.
Did you know that hummingbirds weigh less than an American penny and is the only bird that can fly backwards ❤️♥️💛💚💙💜
I loved living in Western North Carolina. Appalachia is a fantastic region.

Great place I wouldn’t want to live any where else in the world I can be in the smokie mountains and on the parkway in about five minutes and on a good clear day I can see why they call the smokies it truly has a blue haze color to them I glad I got to grow up in the mountains you see a lot of wild life
