NATIONAL 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.
