About Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a national park of the United States in the southeast, with parts in North Carolina and Tennessee. The park straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains and part of the Appalachian temperate rainforest, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The park contains some of the highest mountains in eastern North America, including Kuwohi, Mount Guyot, and Mount Le Conte. The border between the two states runs northeast to southwest through the center of the park. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Georgia to Maine. With over 12 million visitors in 2024, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States.

It's the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and a bit of North Carolina, and the fireflies every year put on this incredible display, not for the humans, just for each other. It's two weeks early June, and it's the synchronous fireflies — it's one of the only places that it happens in the US, and the only place that happens on this scale.
