Description

Welcome to the narrated self-guided driving tour of Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

Great Smoky Mountains:
Explore Great Smoky Mountains National Park and discover why it’s the most visited National Park in the country! Buckle up and prepare for a deep dive into the most famous stretch of the Appalachians.

As you drive through these scenic mountains, you’ll hear all about parts of Cherokee history you’ve never heard before, like the ancient Cherokee monarchy and the revolutionaries who fought against it! You’ll also get to hear detailed accounts of Cherokee ancestral legends about these mountains, from the great buzzard who shaped the Smoky Mountains from clay to the witch whose droplets of blood bloom into stalks of corn!

The Great Smoky Mountains are so vast that it can be tricky to find all the best spots—that’s where we come in. We’ll point you to all the most breathtaking, awe-inspiring sights in the park. Witness the majesty of Rainbow Falls, the 360-degree views atop Clingmans Dome, and the deep-rooted history of the Elys Mill. Our flexible route allows you to take all the time you need to admire the timeless wonders of the mountains.

Along the way, we’ll fill you in not just on the rich history of the area and the people who have lived here, but also the complex flora and fauna which call these mountains home. Get to know the creatures of Cades Cove and learn how wildfires form an integral part of this vast, interconnected ecosystem.

Definitely worth it

If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This made a lot of driving with young kids fun. Used this for the Cade’s Cove tour and the narrator was fantastic. I didn’t expect the tour to include the 45 minute drive to and from the Cove. That was extra value that motivated me to write my first ever review. Great app and tour!

Developer Response ,


Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! I'm delighted that the
Great Smoky app made your drive with young kids enjoyable during the Cades Cove tour. I'm glad you find value in our app, and happy exploring with your family!

One big drawback

It wasn’t very clear to us where the starting point actually was. This was a big drawback, as there were so many pullovers and signs along the route that are not even related to the tour. We had to stop several times to get our bearings. That having been said, it was very informative and interesting once you got on track and got to the designated points. Plus , you could only go as fast as the cars in front of you, and we got behind a nitwit that stopped in the middle of the road every time he saw a bunny rabbit. You are supposed to pull off the road for viewing and there are ample spots for just that. That , of course is not your fault… just putting it out there for people to know.

Learned a lot

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Took about 3 hours with stops for photos, small hikes, lunch, etc. Played over the car speakers as we drove.

Developer Response ,

Yay! We are so thrilled you enjoyed the tour! It’s great that you were able to do so much. Eating lunch while at one of the vistas is always a great plan! Thanks a ton for the review!
