- Great Smoky Mountains - A Fairytale World from Once Upon A Time | Wildlife Documentary
Watch 'Yellowstone - The Breathtaking Beauty of America's First National Park' here: • Yellowstone - The Brea...
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the southeastern United States, with parts in Tennessee and North Carolina. The park straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The park contains some of the highest mountains in the eastern United States, including Clingmans Dome, Mount Guyot, and Mount Le Conte. The border between the two states runs northeast to southwest through the center of the park. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Georgia to Maine. With 12.5 million visitors in 2019, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States.
The park is almost 95 percent forested, and almost 36 percent of it, 187,000 acres (76,000 ha), is estimated by the Park Service to be old growth forest with many trees that predate European settlement of the area. It is one of the largest blocks of deciduous, temperate, old growth forest in North America.
The variety of elevations, the abundant rainfall, and the presence of old growth forests give the park an unusual richness of biota. About 19,000 species of organisms are known to live in the park, and estimates as high as an additional 100,000 undocumented species may also be present.
Park officials count more than 200 species of birds, 50 species of fish, 39 species of reptiles, and 43 species of amphibians, including many lungless salamanders. The park has a noteworthy black bear population, numbering about 1,500.[38] Elk (wapiti) were reintroduced to the park in 2001. Elk are most abundant in the Cataloochee area in the southeastern section of the park.
It is also home to species of mammals such as the raccoon, bobcat, two species of fox, river otter, woodchuck, beaver, two species of squirrel, opossum, coyote, white-tailed deer, chipmunk, two species of skunk, and various species of bats.
Over 100 species of trees grow in the park. The lower region forests are dominated by deciduous leafy trees. At higher altitudes, deciduous forests give way to coniferous trees like Fraser fir. In addition, the park has over 1,400 flowering plant species and over 4,000 species of non-flowering plants.

I once lived near the Park and hacked on the Appalachian Trail many times. Winter and Fall hiking are beautiful.
Good effort to present such nature before ordinary Indian like me with no scope to tour this world. Great gratitude to all of u
There r some nature lovers phographing at the cost of life,money make scope 4 us to quench the thirst to enjoy nature of God.
Any kind hearted will invite this 67y old Indian for 15days visit of mnp at my cost.
There is another stretch of 'smoky', where cameramen can find their paradise, which is quite devoid of cameramen. This stretch of mountain valley needs few hour of cross in a plane and is filled with a beautiful coat of flowering trees and although I didn't enter the valley I can assure any cameramen that they will find a multitude of animal life to film. But it is in South China.
Everytime I (trucker) pass by look at the sign ' the mountains are calling ' I traveled all the states except Alaska & Hawaii, it's a beautiful country,
I could never be a trucker, it's really hard work. But I would love to do more traveling and I'd bet you've seen some cool stuff throughout your driving. What are some of the coolest/weirdest stuff you've seen while working?
Keep on truckin

AWESOME..So..LUCKY sir. 👌🙏💞♾👁

I lived 18 miles up the mountain from Laurel Falls. I feel lucky to have spent all that time in nature every day. It was thrilling. Thank you, Mom. You provided us with so many interesting adventures. RIP
❤Your Momma was a Beautiful person. It sounds like she did a great job too. 😊
The Great Smokies was my back yard as a kid growing up. I dream of the day of my return. I miss this place more than anywhere I have traveled throughout my life. I thank God for those mountains.
This is why i love TH-cam, fantastic upload 👌👌👌
I was born in Sevierville TN, and my heart still awaits my return. This was great to watch 👍 and oh my god! I remember my aunt Leslie lived where there were SO MANY fireflies!!! I could run with an open mason jar and have it filled within a few minutes. Not even. The most magical little kid memory 🤗
Have you seen the lighting bugs that light up all at the same time? They say you only see on Jake's creek TN. side. I've seen them on Forney creek nc. side. Really cool to see.
@@kevintolbert4934 Thanks for sharing.
Grew up in Kansas but still had scads of fireflies. Where have they all gone?
If you've ever been there it is truly magic and when you leave it unfortunately that's when you realize you left the most magical beautiful place on Earth
Walking a narrow ridge on AT I heard a loud fluttering, sounded like helicopters. Looking toward the sound I saw a flock of turkeys trying to fly. They went a short distance about 3-4 feet off ground. Fantastic to witness.
There is nothing more enjoyable than watching a beautiful documentary with truly mesmerizing images.
I'd heard of the Great Smoky Mountains, but never passed through them until I was in my 50s. I was surprised at how beautiful they were, as I grew up with the Grand Canyon nearby. I saw beauty everywhere I traveled, but didn't imagine the quiet beauty of the Smoky Mtns.
I feel blessed to be born and raised at the foothills of the Appalachia. I absolutely love this episode, thank you
Lol I feel blessed to be born and raised at the foothills of the rocky mountains 😂
@@Cm-lp4mu I agree I don't understand why people complain about mountains.
Lol I feel blessed to be born at a top name Air Force Base 🇺🇸
All jokes aside, nice documentary.
Thanks!
This documentary is so incredibly beautiful. It actually made me cry. I lived in the smokies up until a couple of years ago and I miss it so much. Thank you for this wonderful piece of work 💓.

I live in Knoxville and spring is here. Pear trees are starting to bloom. I really love east tennessee. Come home!
I have lived all over the country and Mexico, The Smokies never leave your heart. When deciding where I want to spend my last years I chose to return to Blount County. I am a 78 year old woman and spend my time in my yard where I have a large garden where I donate the food to the food bank. I have planted native trees and shrubs for the wildlife which I love to watch.
Phenominal time lapse photography here in this great video. Thanks.
As a British visitor to the States I always feel that many
Americans don't fully appreciate the stunning variety of
landscapes they have ; from forests to deserts to mountains . Guys : you have everything ! Don't take it
for granted . My own favourites : the South West / Montana and Deep South (Louisiana / Mississippi ).
It's true...we do take for granted the vast variety of landscape here...it's remarkable when fully realized.
Because America works their people to death 24/7. Yes a darn shame. But it's on my bucket list for sure
Can't speak for everyone but I know I sure appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed your visit/s. Even living here though, it's not inexpensive to travel from one end of the nation to the other.
I as well appreciate it greatly 😃
If you open your eyes, you see it, and it is vast and marvelous indeed. Unfortunately, the society / culture is preoccupied with meaningless advocating of inane social issues and simply can’t see the forest before the trees. Flying coast to coast one realizes how HUGE the country really is, and how “social issues” are quite local in nature and have no real impact on the nation as a whole, except in their own minds. Get outside a little more often and you may come to realize that. It’s a great big beautiful country!
It's amazing how balanced and beautiful the forests are, without human intrusion.
Keywords without humans.
Kind of fell apart once we surpassed survival. I pray humanity evolves beyond the destruction of consumerism and finance!! Cry institutional freedom hairless monkeys 🙈
Humans are also part of nature
Without human intrusion ? The pollution has greatly reduced visibility in the Smokey mtns.
We took a week-long vacation in Tennessee a few years ago, and I would be perfectly happy to live in those beautiful mountains! I grew up in northeastern Pennsylvania, and we too have beautiful mountains. 🇺🇸
Do you think the mountains are similar in pa and tn?
@@andrewvu1752 That's what I was going to ask.
How would you compare the mountains in Tennessee to the mountains in Pennsylvania?
@@andrewvu1752 Now that’s a tough one, having only spent a week in Tennessee. And I’ve since been informed by my sisters that Pennsylvania doesn’t have mountains, only “hills.” But to me they’re mountains, just not as high as Tennessee’s mountains. I can’t decide which are more beautiful. I live 200 miles from my hometown, and I take the “back way” when I drive there. It’s all winding roads through forests, state forests, small towns. Even saw bears crossing the road one time! And now that I live in another state, the mountains/hills always strike me as beautiful all over again when I see them. Guess I’d have to vote for Pennsylvania’s mountains, since I know them better. 🇺🇸
@@janicesmith2475 thanks!!
As someone who lives in the Smokey mountains in Western North Carolina I'd say this Documentary did a pretty good job. It's a beautiful place and hope as many people as possible get to visit and take in the scenery.
I've been a few times and feel in love with the Smoky mountains in TN! I live in FL and I'm planning to move this year to NC or TN. I'm content as long as I'm in the mountains! I don't understand how everyone doesn't want to live there, but it's a good thing they don't, lol.
But where’re the Bigfoot? Gotta be some around?
@@hleigh7201 everyone does want to live here in Asheville there are so many people that moved here especially in the last 5 years it's caused land prices to go up like crazy
I lived in Asheville and Woodfin for years. Absolutely miss the parks and natural beauty.
@@andrusaaliiy9267 Yes, I noticed that! Same here in Florida, it's ridiculous! But, I would rather be there than here. Stay safe and blessed.
Awesome documentary! I'm 45 and have lived 2-3 hours west of the Smokies my entire life. Been there dozens of times, yet I still learned things about the Park that I never knew, thanks to this documentary. Well done and thank you!
Where do you live? I'm in Putnam County(Cookeville) about 2.5 hours west of the park.
@@gregvinson1 Just outside Spencer!
@@ryanbaker7404 wow. Been through there lots. Beautiful country up on the mountain, and been to Fall Creek Falls several times. I'm actually closer to you as I live in Baxter. Went to Upperman and we played you guys in sports. In my day there was a guy named Tracy Curtis from there. Great basketball player. I think he was 6' 7"or better.
@@gregvinson1 I’m 45 so he was ahead of me in high school, but I certainly recall the name and his reputation as a player!
@@ryanbaker7404 it truly is a small world. Been good talking to you. Next time I go through Van Buren County on 111 south I will honk.
So glad to make it through a modern nature documentary with no mention of climate change 😌
Growing up, my family every year vacationed in the Smokies before summer. What great memories ❤ This was before it became popular to do so.
Same here. My family used to frequent Cherokee, NC back in the early/mid-90’s before they built the casino and semi-ruined the area.
Please keep making nature docs free. I love all of them. This one is one of my favorites...incl the other US national park. The narrator, omg, he js rediculously awesome!!! His everything is excellent. Great orator, entertaining. His voice is simply "the one". Your docs are educational, entertaining, relaxing, soothing. Needless to say they are watched again and again and again.... always the same impact :)
Be safe out there. Keep 'em comin 😁
So great I love getting to see these videos I watch them every night
Smoky Mountain born and raised. I’ve lived my whole life here on the Tennessee side. I’m from Blount County and I’ve spent the last 25 years in Townsend because that’s where my husband was born and raised….so when I say I’m from the Smokies, I really mean it.
If you’re reading this and you plan to visit the park, please please leave your spray paint and sharpies at home. This place has become so trashed with graffiti that people have even taken to spray painting their names on trees as if someone gives a damn that “Chad was here.” And your trash doesn’t belong on the side of the road or on a trail. We have trash up to our ears. It started in 2015ish when people found out via social media that the outdoors exists. When they found out they could get some attention on social media for posting pictures from here, the park began its decline into a trash filled space. All the “nature lovers” just throw their trash out the window of their cars. Don’t believe me?…drive through and watch the sides of the roads. Stop at an overlook and count the beer cans and bottles. If you smoke, put your cigarette butt in your back pocket until you get to your car. Why not make national parks and state parks the ONE AREA you choose to just not open that window and drop out your trash? Just wait a couple of hours and throw it out elsewhere if you just have to do it and you just can’t wait until you’re at a trash can. And above all…feeding a bear for a photo makes you a horrible human being, not a photographer. If that’s your plan, nobody wants you here. The mountains, trees, and wildlife don’t want you here either. They hate those people. Just know that…if you throw out your trash or feed the wildlife, even the mountains themselves don’t like you and they don’t want your feet on them.
We live in Maryville...it's crazy all the developments here and now I keep reading about some huge development they are trying to get in Townsend....
Stunning ...The flora and fauna amidst the beautiful landscape ...Time stands still when Nature is at its absolute best....
Love the music, the detail close-ups of trees, and the lesson about knowing your limits. All cool observations. All the best to Tina!
Excellent video footage.
Amazing to see these creatures close up.
Nature is truly amazing.
This National Park must NEVER be reduced in size. In fact, it needs to be expanded. Developers would tear every tree down, if they were allowed.
Heck they arw trying...too many tourists and the mountains are shrinking with all the developments
What some people never know is that the Appalachia plateau was once the highest mountain range only to to be exposed to erosion over millions of years. Nothing can ever compare to this diverse mountain range and its diverse environment.
How is a mtn range a plateau??
This is so amazing for our Planet Earth of all graceful Mother Nature indeed .
Absolutely love the smokies. One of my favorite places to go since a little kid
Amazing God’s creation 🥰
I love the Smokies and Blue Ridge mountains---they are a continental treasure---and far, FAR older than the Rockies or Cascades.
Born and raised in the Appalachian mountains I live a couple hours from the smokey mountains I have been there many times I love it. We usually go about three times a year
I’m so proud and blessed to have been in these mountains many generations 🥰🙌🏼❤️✝️🙏🏼😍
The American National Park Series is Awesome ; Great Voice ; Camera ...everything is good about these videos...so relaxing.....thank you.........
Local here.. Please if you visit leave no trace. It's really sad to see all the graffiti from visitors on some our families old homesteads!
So true! There should behefty fines.Ive been to many of the cliff mountain tops and theres graffitie everywhere.Its so wrong.Such an eyesore.
Wow! No wonder my grandma who was from Tennessee told me she hoped someday i would go there on vacation. I literally Just discovered this channel & Subscribed, rang 🛎 & gave 👍
Really lov these WildLife Programs They are Something else,,, 👍👍👍
Absolute LOVE The Smokies!!
Wow, thank you for all your hard work! Beautiful.
I don’t think it’s his work
Life!!
@@jrico153 but still good collection
This documentary is absolutely stunning - rich in so VERY many ways. Bravo to all involved in the making of this. A dear friend who lives in England shared this w/me earlier today... I live in this area of The USA and absolutely love so very much about it. I certainly did not know many things fabulously featured in this film. I'm originally from New England and miss "my" ocean so much but have fallen equally in love with these mountains...
~Thank you soooo very much for this magnificent and in depth look into these hills and the life within. 🥰
That baby bear is so cute
Thank you👍👍👍👍
This TH-cam channel is everything ❤❤❤
Beautiful, thank you and have a wonderful evening from Greece :) 🇬🇷😍
I walked the Appalachian trail in north western New Jersey....this video reminded me of those wonderful times in the woods. Been to the Catskill mountains, also to New York's Adirondack mountains.
Years ago I remember being offered an office job in New York City. The monies on the table was, well great! However I decided that I didn't want to spend a good part of my life looking out of the window to another large towering building. So I decided to go the transportation route...I never looked back.
Now that I'm a "Young Retiree"? I've managed to get a great part time job that has me traveling thru the New England states twice a week,. straight through to Maine coastline..Beautiful scenery ( I even get to goof off and go for a hike).
Hopefully in the near future I get t a chance to visit the Smoky Mountains. Have relatives that live in North Carolina.
I'm very fortunate that I can visit such beauty in my country.
Thanks so much for this wonderful video!
My family and I vacationed there! We had a cabin in the mountains! Best vacation we've taken! I fell so much in love I thought about moving there lol
That's amazing. My family stayed in a Holiday Inn Express that was located in the midst of them (on the North Carolina side from what I remember). Not as romantic, but it had some great views, including a SPECTACULAR pool built inside a sunroom that gave views of the mountains and closer forests in three directions. The morning my parents and I went down to use it, we were bewildered to find that snow was on the ground outside, but the pool and room itself were pretty comfortable (Appalachia apparently had a longer winter that year). So there we were, swimming with snowy forests and summits outside. It is one memory I will hopefully never forget.
No doubt that Tennessee is my favorite state in the country!
Did you know that hummingbirds weigh less than an American penny and is the only bird that can fly backwards ❤️♥️💛💚💙💜
The PBS Nature Documentary Series are an all time favorite of mine. I’ve seen them all!
Wonderful to see I love Mother Nature Big Thank you So lovely to see the wild flowers Muma Bear and Cubs The Great Smoky reminds me of south Africa and the clouds that gather like ocean wave over the mountains
Ants are fascinating to watch ,love those Turkeys .

This is my backyard so im very excited while watching this.
Such a well put together video. Definitely plan on visiting.
I’m in Mississippi. One of my first memories is my parents going to gattlinberg and leaving me behind while my grandma watched me. When they came back I was a baby so I wanted a toy like an action figure. They gave me this black teddy bear. I was so mad I had a tantrum through it in my toy box.
A few days later I ran to my room before bed and grabbed my bear and realized I love him. I never let him leave my side, I named him berry. I don’t know what happened I just loved him. Lol I got tears thinking bout it. Anyways my parents took me to the Smokey mountains to show my teddy bear actual black bears “I wanted to show him his family” I got too see actual black bears and he was with me. It is one of my best childhood memories. I been back to gattlinberg/pigeon forge and it’s honestly my favorite place I’ve ever been. I just love the mountains ever since that vacation
You’re doing a great job. Sarah is proud of you
This is why so many Americans never leave their country. We have Florida we have the upland south the mid Atlantic, the Atlantic north east, great lakes region, so many unique places to visit. Very lucky.
अद्भुत,अप्रतिम जंगलचे चित्रीकरण,प्रत्यक्ष तिथे जाऊन जंगल पाहात असल्याचा अनुभव येतो,अप्रतिम documentry,खूप जणांना पाहण्यासाठी शिफारस केली
Oh the wonders of nature, God Be Praised! I've enjoyed the documentary as a whole and more especially the wildlife, landscapes and of course you the narrator for such brilliant & articulate speech! Cheers and Good luck! Khadeeja Alghali-Rahman (London, UK)🌻
Superb documentary. A beautiful place on Earth, well written and excellently narrated. Thanks to all concerned.
Absolutely one of the "Best Nature videos" I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I would rate it 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you so much for your masterpiece.❤ Cudos to you guys-cannot wait to visit-😁
Amazing documentary! Thank you for uploading ❤ Special thanks to the narrator.
Wonderful country but even 20+ years ago when I went through it was a madhouse of traffic and campers. Almost as bad as Yellowstone. Better bring some patience with you.
Truth
It's terrible how bad it has become. This is our home and we can only enjoy living here for 3 months in the winter...after that forget it!
@@missdeeva2266 I'm from N. Idaho. I know how it is. Everyone makes fun of you as some kind of hick or rube, then suddenly everybody wants to come to where you have lived all your life. People are goofy.
I really like your video 👍
Marvellous documentary.. showing nature's interdependence and variety.
15.1.2022.First class and very good.I am awaiting more videos from you.Thank you.
love the Smoky Mtns
Just a few miles from me. Yes amazingly beautiful! I'm in NE TN, and in the mountains also. As far as beauty and comfort goes, it doesn't get much better. Sure, there's things politically in Tenn and the neighboring states, but as far as the rest goes, I'd hate to live anywhere else but these mountains.
I love nature.
Creation is outstandingly beautiful.
The Appalachians are one of the most bio-diverse places on Earth. There are more species of trees in one hollow in Great Smokie Mts. NP than there are in all of Europe.
So beautiful!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Great place I wouldn’t want to live any where else in the world I can be in the smokie mountains and on the parkway in about five minutes and on a good clear day I can see why they call the smokies it truly has a blue haze color to them I glad I got to grow up in the mountains you see a lot of wild life
No one who watches this film could ever say there is no God! God made all of the creatures so perfectly. Only a fool would not see this in the wonderful beauty of nature. And this park is only a small fraction of what exists on our planet. There will never be another planet so beautifully & wonderfully made unless our God creates it.
Money spent on space exploration is such a waste. Humans need to enjoy all that our planet has to offer and appreciate it while we can.
Thank you for the makers of this film and for airing it! So wonderful!
Exactly, the design is too complex to be anything but God...I cringe when they say millions of years and evolution, they are taking away credit from the actual designer
I lived in the blue ridge mountain area and along with the smoky mountains they are the most beautiful places I've been.
America The Beautiful, God shed his Grace on Thee. Never was a phrase more fitting than The Great Smokey Mountains. 🥰❤
amazing wonders of nature
It’s so incredible to view such Depth
Grateful🙏🏽
😮 WOW WOW WOW SO Beautiful LOVELY Peaceful Place
Beautiful🧡💙💜👍👍👍👍
Good videos
Exactly why I want to build a log house in the Smokies so I can enjoy it more than a couple times a year! 😍
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
They're like lil puppies. 💖
... and I'm a Cubs fan!
*GO CUBS - GO !!!* ⚾
The film quality in these videos are exemplary. Thankyou.
My roots are deep here ❤
Thank you for letting me see this grand treat...
I live by smokies I go out just view mtns sp pretty sure calms my nerves.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Just gorgeous.
A breathtaking insight into nature!
I love that area. Although for me I think Southern Kentucky is eleven more beautiful...especially in the fall. I went through a town called Monticello once in Kentucky and the country was AMAZING!!! They have a beautiful man made lake there called Cumberland lake as well. But northern Tennessee and Southern Kentucky is one of the most beautiful places in the country. The Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky is also next door to that small Monticello town. Gorgeous scenery for sure.
That's where I live, right on lake Cumberland, I'm surrounded on all sides by the Daniel Boone national Forest. It is very beautiful here, and I love it. I've lived and traveled across America and halfway around the world... I always ended up back home in hollers of South Eastern Kentucky. Now my kids are grown and I have no more desire to roam. I stay here on my little home stead of 12 acres, about 15 miles north of the TN/KY line, just east of Cumberland Falls... In the heart of the Daniel Boone national Forest.
My guess is... people would always think a place they've gone to as a better place.
It's quite subjective what makes one place is better than other. But things they've experienced themselves leave better impressions than those they've only seen from a video.
Take what I said with all the salt in the ocean.
@@budle89 everyone had a right to their own opinion…Ahh the Beauty of Freedom is great isn’t it
bet you didn’t hike mount leconte or even touch mount mitchell 😂😂😂 pls hush
@@budle89 it was a joke yo lol
Beautiful
I was raised in the mountains in the northeast but when I moved down south I was shocked by the size and beauty of the smokey and blueridge mountains.
Amazing creation these bears, how the whole cycle happens is breathtaking.
The first plant is called blood root and the 2nd is mayapple.. you use to be able to dig the roots for money when I was a kid
Nature entertaining and beautiful 😍
What an enjoyable program! I loved seeing all the wildlife and flowers.
Beautiful and spirit lifting. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous views! Blooming flora and very unique fauna!
Beautiful ❤️
Great share. Interesting to watch. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
What a beautiful nature.
