Perhaps the most aptly named geographic landmark in the world, the Great Smoky Mountains span between the borders of North Carolina and Tennessee. In 1930, Great Smoky Mountains National Park became one of the largest protected areas of the eastern United States. It encompasses 814 square miles of lush landscapes (with more tree species than in all of northern Europe), abundant wildlife (65 mammal and 230 bird species), and spectacular scenic beauty. The mist of water droplets from low-level clouds is a significant source of water, making the Great Smoky Mountains the area with the highest amount of rainfall in the Southeastern US, approximately 60 inches (150 centimeters) annually. Unfortunately today, the Great Smokies’ signature blue fog is often being replaced by a toxic haze produced by ozone pollution and automobile emissions. Follow me at @Gerd Ludwig to see additional images of the Smokies that I recently posted.
