The 2009 schedule of ranger-guided programs has ended for the year. Programs will be offered during summer and fall of 2010. The schedule will be posted here once it becomes available in early June, 2010.
The park is named for the misty clouds that hang over the mountains.  

Did You Know?
The wispy, smoke-like fog that hangs over the Smoky Mountains comes from rain and evaporation from trees. On the high peaks of the Smokies, an average of 85 inches of rain falls each year, qualifying these upper elevation areas as temperate rain forests.
