2. The Great Smoky Mountains
The Great Smoky Mountains is actually an official subrange of the awesome Appalachian Mountains primarily located in Tennessee and North Carolina. This range was named after the famous fog that almost always hovers around the mountain peaks. This range is federally protected by the impressive Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Currently the official most-visited national park in the country, it’s visited by millions of travelers annually.
3. The Alaska Range
The Alaska Range situated in the south central region of Alaska is arguably the most remote mountain range on this list. Nevertheless, veteran visitors say that this range features some of the nation’s “most incredible peaks.” They also praise the national parks that protect this mountain range. They say Denali National Park and Preserve, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve and the Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve, which encompass portions of this range, are all beautiful.
