I am renowned for my diversity of plant and animal life, the beauty of my ancient mountains, and the quality of my remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture

Personally, I love that the Smokies are another innumerate geography, but I still wish for some more piles of sand or maybe some glacial moraines.

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

Otters were eliminated from the Smokies in the early 1900s due to habitat destruction and trapping for their fur.

In 1986, the National Park Service started a program to reintroduce otters to Smoky Mountains National Park. Over 8 years, 137 otters were moved to the Smokies!
