    I could always go to a "free" National Park, as well. Shoot it even borders the state I live in!

    Why is the Great Smoky Mountains the Most Visited National Park?

    The number one reason the Great Smoky Mountains are so popular is because it’s one of the only national parks in the United States that doesn’t charge an entrance fee. When the park was first becoming established, North Carolina and Tennessee had come together to build a road through the land that would become the national park so people could easily go from one state to the other. When the government was trying to attain the land, they asked the states if they could obtain Newfound Gap Road. North Carolina deeded over the road almost immediately, while Tennessee wanted to ensure that there would never be tolls on the road, leading to the reason why you aren’t charged to enter the park.

    We've been to about 8 eight. My favorite was easily the Redwoods. My second has to be Yellowstone. Third is the Grand Canyon and fourth is Crater Lake. As a disabled Veteran I get in free along with those in my party.
