We are SO blessed to live near the beautiful Smoky Mountains and enjoy them, but have you ever heard the story of its origin?
The Great Smoky Mountains’ third-highest peak is the LeConte Lodge, and its origins lie with a young man named Paul Adams and his best friend, his dog, Cumberland Jack.
Colonel David Chapman with the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association saw an opportunity to keep the Smoky Mountains beautiful and not tear the trees down.
