These mountains were shaped over time long before they became a protected landscape. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina, United States covers more than 2,000 square kilometres. The park takes its name from the natural smoky haze drifting over its ridgelines. Part of the Appalachian Mountains, these peaks are over 300 million years old.
