The Great Smoky Mountains are a range that runs along the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina. They are part of the mighty Appalachian Mountain range.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park covers an area of 816.3 square miles.
The name of the Great Smokies originates with the native Cherokee people, who referred to the mountains as Shaconage, which means “place of the blue smoke”. Settlers drew on this name for the Smoky Mountains, with the ‘Great’ being added at some point to reflect their awesome size and scale.
The Knoxville McGee Tyson Airport (TYS) is the closest airport to the Smokies, 60 miles from the center of the mountain region.
Snow falls frequently in the higher elevations of the Great Smokies from October through April. Low level areas are less likely to see deep snow.
When it comes to restaurants in the Smoky Mountains, your best bet is to head over to Pigeon Forge, where you’ll find a huge range and choice. Most restaurants are found along the Parkway, with everything from classic American Smokehouses and Tex-Mex eateries such as the Smoky Mountain Burritos Mexican Grill, to pizza chains like Fox Den and well known fast-food chains, such as TGI Fridays. You’ll also find classic diners, Southern fare such as Mama’s Farmhouse, and perfect spots to grab breakfast and lunch too.
