Natural Wonders

Tennessee’s natural landscapes are defined by the ancient Appalachian Mountains and the diverse ecosystems of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This collection features prominent geological landmarks, including the 256-foot Fall Creek Falls and the 6,643-foot Clingmans Dome, the highest point in the state. From the river-carved gorges of Rock Island State Park to the misty hardwood forests housing the Ramsey Cascades, these sites showcase the region's rich biodiversity and expansive vistas across the Tennessee-North Carolina border.
