Great Smoky Mountain National Park,
North Carolina and Tennessee

 
Great Smoky Mountain National Park is located on the border between Tennessee and North Caroline.  It includes 520,000 acres of mountainous terrain that includes several of the tallest tree site in the eastern United States.  For the purpose of this locations listing it is treated as a separate entity.  Will Blozan, Jess Riddle, Michael Davie and a few others have participated in most trips in the park.  The trip reports are organized by drainage basin or district based upon guidelines sent to me by Jess Riddle.  Any errors in placing the trip into the correct basin are entirely my own. .pdf format maps of the park are available at:  http://www.nps.gov/grsm/pphtml/maps.html  GSMNP quads maps are available at http://www.dlia.org/atbi/science/park_quad_maps.shtml  - Ed Frank
