'Smokies' Rank as Favorite Retreat
WASHINGTON.—Ranking as one of the favorite vacation spots in the East, Great Smoky Mountain National park embraces the greatest mountain mass east of the Black Hills.
The 'Smokies' derive their name from the deep blue haze hovering about the peaks that for 36 consecutive miles are more than 5,000 feet high. The park is 54 miles long and a maximum of 19 miles wide.
Highest peak is Clingman's Dome, 6,642 feet above sea level and accessible by a motor highway.
Fishing is one of the main attractions for sportsmen, the 600 miles of trout streams in the park being restocked annually.
Free naturalist-guided field trips are conducted during the summer months by National Park service and campers also may explore remote sections of the park.
