What's the name of this crowded and smoggy national park?
Chartered in 1934 and officially dedicated by FDR six years later, this park straddles the border between Tennessee and North Carolina. Elevations in the park range from a low of 876 feet to a height of 6,643 feet. In fact, 16 mountains within the park exceed 6,000 feet.
