Welcome to our Great Smoky Mountains Pages!

Through these pages we hope to share with you our adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) and surrounding areas. The Smokies are our favorite vacation spot and we try to visit as often as we can - and that's not often enough. On these pages we will attempt to provide a good assortment of information and photos on the different areas of the Smokies that we have visited.

Please Donate

You've probably already noticed that there is no entrance fee for the GSMNP. This is due to a clause in the Park's enabling legislation. Other parks such as Grand Canyon and Yellowstone can charge entrance fees of $20 per vehicle and earn millions of dollars in supplemental funding as a result. Please consider making purchases at the Visitors Centers where proceeds go toward funding worthwhile projects in the Park. Additional financial help is provided by the Great Smoky Mountains Association and the Friends of the Smokies organizations. Please consider joining these organizations in their effort to help the Park. There are also donation boxes along side some of the roads in the park.
