About Great Smoky Mountains

Great Smoky Mountains National Park straddles the border of Tennessee and North Carolina in the southern Appalachians, and it's the most visited national park in the United States. The high ridges can be snowy and icy when the valleys are mild, and the views depend on the famous haze. These Great Smoky Mountains webcams come from the National Park Service's air-quality network and show the view from four high points in the park.

Which Great Smoky Mountains webcam to check first

Start with Newfound Gap for conditions on the main road over the mountains, then check Kuwohi (formerly Clingmans Dome) for the view west from the park's highest point. Purchase Knob looks over the North Carolina side, and Look Rock shows the western foothills and valley.

Before you go to Great Smoky Mountains

Newfound Gap Road can close for snow and ice at short notice in winter. Check the park's road information and the National Weather Service forecast before you drive over the mountains.
