Why it works

Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited national park in the US, with over 12 million visitors per year — a day hike focused map with difficulty ratings and distances is far more practical for the park's majority of visitors than a full topographic map. The park's dense trail network and the popularity of specific waterfall trails require accurate trailhead and junction detail. Waterproof construction survives the Smokies' frequent rain and the high humidity common in the southern Appalachians year-round.

Ideal for

Park visitors, families, and day hikers exploring Great Smoky Mountains National Park's waterfalls, ridges, and wildlife areas. See also NGTI229 (Great Smoky Mountains National Park) for full topographic coverage.
