Park Service- Great Smoky Mountains National Park Place of Blue Smoke
was the name given by the Cherokee Indians to the Appalachian Highlands on
the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. The forest here exudes
water vapor and oily residues which create a smoke-like haze that surrounds
the peaks and fills the valleys. Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
encompassing more than 800 square miles, protects one of the world's finest
temperate deciduous forests and is a reminder of the tree-rich landscape of
pre-Columbian America. Click here for Camping

some links to weather and webcams for the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park. Jeremy has decided to make it more of a Hiking blog, and will be

Happy
Hiker The Happy Hiker is a hiker's friend away from home. It
was owned by Tom Brosch but he sold it to Hugh Ogle and his son
Barrett in March 2001. Most of the work is done by Howard and his crew and
the entire staff remained with the new owners. The Happy Hiker personnel can
provide trail shuttle service, overnighters to LeConte Lodge, hiking &
camping equipment, advice and friendly conversation. I wish Hugh and Barrett
Ogle well in their new endeavor.
