Gatlinburg: Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Tennessee, United States
Tucked into the forested foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg is a place whose character is shaped by the steep, wooded ridges of eastern Tennessee. The West Prong of the Little Pigeon River runs through town, while Great Smoky Mountains National Park begins directly to the south and protects a vast section of the southern Appalachians. Gatlinburg is a base for exploring this landscape, but its identity also rests on Appalachian craft traditions. The Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community follows an eight-mile loop of studios and shops, where makers work in media such as pottery, wood and textiles. Compact development in the river valley meets an unbroken sweep of forest beyond it.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
