The Rocky Mountains

Tennessee’s Version of the Rockies—The Great Smoky Mountains

Although Tennessee is mainly made up of flat terrain, one mountainous region is worth noting.  The Great Smoky Mountains are located along the border of Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Cherokee, North Carolina.  I mean, look at how gorgeous they are!  It's no wonder thousands of people travel to Tennessee to catch a glimpse of these beauties! 

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is a major tourist attraction for Tennessee.  Many people go to visit the rocks that are over a billion years old!  Mainly composed of granite, sandstone, and slate, the Smokies are quite a sight to see!
