Fancy a walk through the Smokies in Tennessee, seen in today"s image? Spanning over 522,000 acres (211,246 hectares) between North Carolina and Tennessee in the United States, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity. Home to more than 19,000 documented species, scientists estimate that tens of thousands more remain undiscovered. Miles of hiking trails wind through the dense woodlands, leading adventurers to cascading waterfalls and scenic overlooks. The park also boasts some of the highest mountains in the eastern United States, including Clingmans Dome, which rises to 2,025 metres.
