For 7 to 10 days in late April, just as Spring springs forth, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park organizes a week-long pilgrimage through the park. This annual pilgrimage takes travelers on the long and winding mountain paths with the specific purpose of viewing the gorgeous wildflowers that bloom in the Spring season. This mountain range is known for its incredibly diverse ecosystem, most notably of which are its wildflowers, flowering plants native (and in some cases endemic) to this landscape. The Smoky Mountains contains over 1400 identified species of wildflowers, meaning flowers that have not been introduced or intentionally planted, and that the area in question is their natural habitat. Walk through a veritable rainbow of wildflowers, courtesy of the Smoky Mountains!
