America's Most Visited National Park! - Fall Colors - Great Smoky Mountains 4K - Scenic Drive

A quick video from the other side of the world! More videos from Asia up next. I've wanted to do this video for years now and finally got a chance. Should I do a whole National Parks series?
With nearly twice as many tourists as the Grand Canyon, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States with over 11.3 million recreational visitors in 2016. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an American national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The border between Tennessee and North Carolina runs northeast to southwest through the centerline of the park. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Maine to Georgia. The park was chartered by the United States Congress in 1934 and officially dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.

The park encompasses 522,419 acres (816.28 sq mi; 211,415.47 ha; 2,114.15 km2), making it one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States. The main park entrances are located along U.S. Highway 441 (Newfound Gap Road) at the towns of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Cherokee, North Carolina. Great Smoky Mountains was the first national park whose land and other costs were paid for in part with federal funds; previous parks were funded wholly with state money or private funds.
