Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a beautiful place to plan your next family vacation. If your preference is a camping trip, look no further for an outdoor adventure as this place has many campgrounds! If it's a backpacking trip you're interested in, this park has a number of backpacking trails that will keep you busy for many years. There's fly fishing, wildlife galore, beautiful scenery for outstanding outdoor pictures, history, whitewater rafting and tubing the rivers, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. The surrounding area also offers plenty for a family, couple or individual to keep busy for many return visits to one of the most visited National Park areas in the country! It is no wonder it is one of my favorite parks.
