Map of Great Smoky Mountains

Great Smoky Mountains, portion of the Appalachian Mountain system, in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. The mountains comprise one of the oldest upland regions in the world. They rise to a maximum elevation of 2,025 m (6,643 ft) in Clingmans Dome, and they are noted for their luxuriant forest cover, large tracts of which are virgin growth. Cherokee Indian Reservation, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and parts of several national forests are located here. The mountains are named for the smokelike haze characteristic of the region.
