Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a World Heritage Site, preserves a rich cultural tapestry of Southern Appalachian history. The mountains have had a long human history spanning thousands of years. World renowned for its diversity of plant and animal life and the beauty of its ancient mountains, this is America’s most visited national park.
Biological diversity is the hallmark of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and no other area of equal size in a temperate climate can match the park's amazing diversity of plants, animals and invertebrates. Among the birds viewed in the park are Henslow’s Sparrow, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Cerulean Warbler, Red Crossbill, Black-capped Chickadee, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Golden-winged Warbler and the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker.
