Hearthside Cabin Rentals Uncovers Three Unknown Facts About The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Pigeon Forge, TN (PRWEB) October 29, 2013 -- Did you know that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to over 21,000 different living species? What about the fact that the GSMP was the first national park service to ever be paid in part by federal funds? These are just a few of the many interesting facts recently unveiled by Hearthside Cabin Rentals, a premier Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg cabin rental company.
“Many people who visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have been doing so for generations,” said a spokesperson for Hearthside Cabin Rentals. “We are just happy that we can provide a nice, clean and relaxing atmosphere for guests to unwind in after an exciting day of exploring in the mountains.”
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park first came to being in 1926 when the National Park Service wanted to establish a preserved area in the Eastern United States. With the help of John D. Rockefeller, the United States Government and private citizens in both Tennessee and North Carolina, the park was established.
For nearly 80 years, the iconic Great Smoky Mountains National Park has entertained guests of all ages. Whether guests were avid hikers, canoers, whitewater rafters or historical gurus, the mountainous area has something to offer. Today the Smokies are home to 67 different species of mammals, 200 varieties of birds, 80 reptiles and amphibians, 67 birds, 4,000 plants and 17,000 different insects.
The popularity of the park shines through with the final fact uncovered by the Gatlinburg cabin company. Out of all the other national parks in the country, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited park in the United States. The park welcomed over nine million visitors last year. A staggering number compared to the reported four million that visited The Grand Canyon in 2012.
