Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park

This natural attraction is the most visited National Park in the United States and is famous for the longest pedestrian trail in the world.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park has a wide range of attractions connected with the life and culture of the first settlers and the Indians. There’s also another thing which tempts many Americans.
