Where Are the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina?

The Great Smoky Mountains straddle the Tennessee–North Carolina border. They're part of the Appalachian chain and include the highest peaks east of the Mississippi.

Clingmans Dome (6,684 ft / 2,037 m), the range's summit, sits directly on the state line. The park is famed for waterfalls, wildflowers, black bears, elk, and over 800 miles of trails.
