| It was an adventure I'll never forget. I expected spring in late March, but it was strictly winter in the Smokies. Where |
|wildflowers should have been bursting with color, the ground was mantled with snow, and in places with ice. Consequently, it took a |
|while to get organized with the right gear for the weather, and it was after midday before we started up the trail to Mount LeConte, |
|one of the favored vista points in the park, especially for sunset watching. |
| I confess that my friend, Mark Prichard, carried the heavy pack. We followed a stream thickly bordered by laurel and |
|rhododendron. The sky was generally clear, though scattered clouds hung low about the mountaintops and in the valleys. We saw forests|
|dusted white with snow. They reminded me of a picture book scene of Bavaria or the Black Forest. The higher we climbed, the colder it|
|became. As we passed under a rocky outcrop, the tree limbs glistened with icicles. Now and then they broke loose with thundering |
|pops. We made it to the mountaintop and huddled all night in the old stone shelter. The shelter was built for summer use and was |
|downright breezy in winter. Looking back, I realize it was well worth the effort. I was glad we had taken the precaution to dress |
|warmly. |
| The park lies astride the common border of North Carolina and Tennessee. The border is unbroken for a distance of 70 miles, |
|except for one transmountain road. The Smokies stand as the masterwork of the Appalachian highlands. They are fed by the fertile land|
|and nourished by rain and rushing streams. Plant life is luxuriant and varied, with more kinds of trees than in all of Europe. |
| The park covers 517,014 acres, embracing some of the oldest mountains on earth. Their foundations were laid on the floor of a |
|shallow sea over 500 million years ago. The loftiness of the mountains was produced during a long period of earth upheavals called |
|the Appalachian Revolution that occurred about 200 million years ago. The Smokies escaped the icy tongue of the glaciers, and as a |
|result, many plant species were able to survive. Today the park is the meeting ground of northern and southern types of forests. |
| I find the history of the region as fascinating as its natural endowments. For hundreds of years, the Smokies were part of the |
|mountain empire of the Cherokee Indians. At its height the empire extended from Virginia south to Georgia and Alabama. The Indians |
|lived in harmony with nature in small communities along the streams. Once the colonists discovered the region and advanced from South|
|Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, the Indians were doomed. |
| At first, settlers took up the generous valleys and coves. On the North Carolina side, John Jacob Mingus settled in the |
|Oconaluftee Valley in 1792. He may have been the first white man to live in what is now the national park. Others followed in the |
|1800s, living in isolation, moving into the subvalleys, along creek branches and up the steep hillsides to scrabble for a hard |
|living. They grew almost everything they ate and made almost everything they wore. The national park was a long time in coming to the|
|Great Smoky Mountains. The idea of designating the region as a national park was first presented in 1899. The idea resurfaced in |
|1923. The park was finally established in 1926. |

|Tennessee Caves |
| |
| Hidden in Tennessee's abundant limestone bedrock is a network of secret worlds—cave ecosystems. Tennessee has more than 7,000 |
|beautiful and mysterious caves that support many animals. From the surface, a cave may simply appear to be a dark hole in the ground.|
|However, there are incredible sights hidden in the darkness—flowing streams and waterfalls, quiet clear pools, gardens of rock and |
|twinkling crystals, vertical columns, and curtains of stone. |
| Tennessee's caves form a topography of sinkholes, sinking streams, underground drainage, and springs. As the rock dissolves, |
|tiny cracks in the rock grow to form underground openings. Over thousands of years, these subterranean openings can become large |
|rooms and interconnecting passages extending for miles and having many levels. As the underground water flows through small cracks |
|and passages within the rock, the water mixes with minerals. When the water reaches a larger passage or room, the water evaporates |
|and dissolved minerals are deposited as beautiful formations like stalactites, stalagmites, flower-shaped rocks, flowstone, and soda |
|straws. As long as the water drips, the formations will grow and change. |
| Several factors influence a cave's environment—temperature, humidity, free-flowing water near the entrance, airflow, and |
|available light. Different combinations of these factors create different habitats. Hundreds of invertebrates, such as isopods, |
|amphipods, snails, mites, millipedes, and beetles, have adapted to these specific conditions and claim caves as their homes. |
| While exploring a cave, a person may be lucky enough to see all three types of cave creatures. Bats, wood rats, and some |
|crickets are known as trogloxenes—cave visitors. These creatures spend only part of their lives in caves. Troglophiles, or cave |
|lovers, such as some cave spiders, can spend their lives in caves if they choose, or they can live in dark, damp places in other |
|ecosystems. Finally, there are the cave dwellers, or troglibites, such as blind cavefish, crayfish, cave beetles, and Tennessee cave |
|salamanders. They spend their entire lives in caves. Having mutated to survive in the absence of light, many have turned into eyeless|
|or blind and colorless creatures. |
