I've been watching the show for 41 years and this is the best part

Thank you for letting the pure beauty of this special place speak for itself without cluttering this wonderful footage with extraneous music or voiceover.

Being from TN, but living in CA, I always have a secret place in my heart for the Smokies. It's not surprising that it's national park's the most visited one of all.

The sights and the sounds triggered remembered smells of the rugged outdoors. Thank you.

One of the most beautiful places in the world that God gave us to enjoy
Peace and serenity ❤

Once you experience the Smokies you'll never forget.

And that is why I could never leave Kentucky!❤

Beautiful area, never seen (though at a Willie Nelson tribute many smokies).

Beautiful as always! But sad to not see any native spring wildflowers, probably from too many deer.

18 years ago I got married right there at the spot in the first 5 seconds of the video! EDIT: AND I got a permit to do it!!!

Deer are beautiful but there are too few predators for them; they are overpopulated.

I live here and clicked to see if you mentioned the new parking passes required. The only park without an entrance fee, so they skirted around it by parking passes.
I live here and never ever go into park or over mtn - too many cars and people. Not at all what you’ve shown here. It’s a zoo!
