About Smokymountains

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is named for the blue-gray haze that often blankets its ridges. The haze comes from volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, released by the dense vegetation in the temperate rainforest. When sunlight interacts with these particles, it scatters blue light, creating the signature smoky appearance that is most visible on warm, humid days.

The Cherokee people called the range “Shaconage,” meaning “place of blue smoke,” reflecting this natural effect. The phenomenon is strongest when layered ridges are viewed from a distance, as more atmosphere increases blue light scattering. This gives the mountains their iconic misty look year round.
