Old Growth Forest, Great Smoky Mountains NP - We spent the day in Great Smoky Mountains NP, traveling north from the town of Cherokee, on the main highway towards Gatlinburg, TN. The Smoky Mountains include five main forest ecosystems. Shown here is the cove hardwood forest, consisting of beech, yellow birch, sugar maple, white basswood, yellow poplar, magnolia, hickory and eastern hemlock. Created through land acquisitions through the 1920s through 30s, Great Smoky Mountain NP is among the top five most-visited national parks.
