Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Mingus Mill Postcard

UNESCO WHS Serie - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Oconaluftee - Mingus Mill - Stretching over more than 772 sq mi (2'000 km2), this exceptionally beautiful park is home to more than 3'500 plant species, including almost as many trees (130 natural species) as in all of Europe. Many endangered animal species are also found there, including what is probably the greatest variety of salamanders in the world. Since the park is relatively untouched, it gives an idea of temperate flora before the influence of humankind. Oconaluftee is a river valley in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. The national park lands in Oconaluftee are home to the Oconaluftee Visitor Centre, Mingus Mill, and the Mountain Farm Museum.
