As a supplement to the landforms of Tennessee,
the table above lists various landforms (waterfalls, peaks, balds, rock formations)
in the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina.
Information on each landform includes maps, GPS waypoint (latitude/longitude), and the occasional
picture.
In the Smokies there are 17 peaks over 6000', 8 balds, 6 arches, and more than
90 waterfalls.
Some of these landforms are off-trail, contact the Park Rangers regarding
off-trail or manway ventures.
Corrections and additions are welcomed.
