1U ?W SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK • NT»Sr • The Great Smoky Mountains are the most massive and rugged in Eastern America. These mountains run the entire length oi the park, a distance of about 71 miles. The park area is 440,000 acres or nearly 700 square miles. The area extending from northeast to southwest along the boundary between the states of North Carolina and Tennessee with about equal acreage within the park boundaries on the two sides of the state line. The state line itself extends along the grand central divide of the Smokies which is one of the outstanding features of the park area. Peaks rise to elevations better than 6600 feet above the sea, the crown being Clingman's Dome at 6642 feet. Flanking the central divide are deep creek valleys and the head waters of river systems cutting deep valleys and gorges. The difference in elevation between 6642 feet and the approximate 1300 feet, lowest elevation in the park, is a feature that creates a spectacular quality in mountain scenery. Majestic peaks overlook tremendous valleys. • The Newfound Gap Highway passes through the center of the park connecting the states of North Carolina and Tennessee. It is the only highway through the park. It is a spectacular road of a loop-over and two tunnels and commands magnificent views throughout its length. At Newfound Gap there is a large parking area from which one can look down into North Carolina and Tennessee from an elevation of 5048 feet. Here a granite memorial marker has been erected, which bears a bronze plaque commemorating the national park and those who made it possible. Designed by Paul Manship, the plaque bears the following inscription: "For the permanent enjoyment of the people -this park is given one-half by the people of the states of North Carolina and Tennessee and one-half in memory of Laura Spelman Rockefeller, by the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, founded by her husband, John D. Rockefeller." • The Skyline, the highest highway in the East, starts at Newfound Gap and follows the crest of the Smokies to the parking area of Clingman's Dome. A half mile hike from the parking area will take one to observation tower on top of Clingman's Dome. • The Smokies are noted as the national park containing within its boundaries, the last of the Eastern wilderness. Here are to be found the last great tracts of virgin red spruce in America. These mountains contain over 150 species of trees. This wide range of species can be found in few similar areas in North America. The Smokies contain more species of trees than can be seen on the entire continent of Europe. This diversity of plant life (the shrubs and lower growth being equally as great in variety) produces a botanical wonderland and a paradise for the naturalist in search of rare species. • Animal life in the Smokies is as diverse as plant life. In the high ranges may be seen eagles and ravens and other rare birds. Black bears are becoming more and more numerous in the park as the protection of these animals has increased their number. Often the bears are seen along the highways and particularly on the Skyline to Clingman's Dome. Some deer are known to exist in the park. • There are over 500 miles of trails in the park, which make it a paradise for the hiker and many of the trails are siHtable for horseback riding. • On the eastern boundary of the park lies the 60,000 acre reservation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Living here as the remnant of their tribe in the East, the ancestors of these Indians are tribesmen who hid in the regions of the Great Smokies when the remainder of the Cherokees were moved to Oklahoma. Now peacefully dwelling in the valley of the Oconolufty River on their ancient tribal hunting grounds, the 3,000 Cherokees are among the most attractive features of the park area. These Indians continue many ancient tribal customs including the green corn dance, the Indian ball game, bow and arrow and blow gun competition and many of their number are skilled in the making of Indian pottery, baskets, woodcraft and even metal craft. During the autumn the annual Cherokee Indian Fair is held. COPYRIGHT MCMXLVI BY CURT TE1CH h CO., INC., CHICAGO, U.S.*.
