I courted my Smoky Mountain girl, my wife, 60 years ago in those Smokys. Love of my live and the best person I ever met. Laid her to rest 2021 up on Water Rock Knob where she first kissed me. She graduated from a tiny school. A truly magnificent person. Miss her awfully. Like her mountains, a grand and glorious person. Loved you, girl.

I grew up in Colorado and hiked many places in the Rockies. When my husband and I came through here years ago, I knew I had to live here. These mountains are ancient and the feeling of sacredness is palpable.

I've been to The Smokies many, many times. The beauty of those mountains CANNOT be overstated. I'm looking forward to my next visit, hopefully in the spring.

The Smoky Mountains are truly a magnificent place. Many people from the west will say "those aren't true mountains" or "Its just a bunch of trees". People like that cannot even begin to understand or appreciate the biological diversity and uniqueness of the smokys. I've been to many national parks and the great smokys is truly unique in every way. I'm thankful I live an hour from the park and I never get tired of it. Something keeps drawing me back and I can't explain it.
