      You’re lucky! This is 9 hours from me if you drive straight through but when we went we had lots of stops and stuff so it was close to a 14 hour drive (In one day)
      The Tram ride is really cool! It’s called Ober Gatlinburg. You’re so lucky you live close to a beautiful place like this.

    So why is it called 'Smokey mountains'? Could it be because of all the Shine being distilled in there? 🙂

      @ToniaElkins  4 месяца назад +3

      No it’s because those trees have a blue mist sometimes that float above the trees. First named by the Cherokee people. It gets all foggy and misty all over the tops of the mountains. I’ve been there on rainy days and the mist was slowly getting thicker and by the time we left you couldn’t see the mountains at all anymore. That was in 2002 when I was there the 1st time and saw that. You can look up the history behind the name and things about it if you’re interested.

      @@ToniaElkins Makes sense! We have a place in Oz called the Blue Mountains too, so named for the same thing. Oxygen content produced by the trees is likely what causes the effect, oxygen being the gas that makes the sky appear blue.
      I will look up more about the smokey mountains though.

      ⁠erm…hate to be that guy but…the sky is blue due to Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in Earth's atmosphere - it’s not because the gasses are “blue”, at least not in the way blue paint is blue.
      Sunlight reaching earth is pretty much white - but some of the light hits molecules in the atmosphere and absorbed or deviated to get scattered out in all directions. Certain frequencies of light get affected most and rescattered most- the yellow we see of the sun is the frequencies which tend to pass through without being affected as much, the blue is the frequency the gases scatter the most.
      But - the mountains looking blue - that is related to light being scattered too - but I think the affect there may be dominated by water vapour in the air - which is also what makes the Smokies “smoke” as Tonia says - although, the effect I saw I’m fairly sure was from transpiration - which is trees drawing up water from the roots and it evaporating from the leaves, making the air just above them more saturated with water, and when the air is already close to the dew point, it becomes instant “clouds” that form right above the trees.

      @@ToniaElkinsyou were there in 2002?? What time of year? That’s when I visited America all around SC and NC and Tennessee and Kentucky - and we stayed in Pigeon Forge and visited Gatlinburg etc - I think I was there…whatever time it was that America was starting the invasion of Afghanistan as that was what was dominating the newspapers I remember.
