Great Smoky Mountains National Park In Tennessee And North Carolina
After exploring the breathtaking beauty of Yosemite National Park, it’s time to move on to the next hammocking spot on our list – Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Many people believe that this park is named after the smoky haze that often hovers over the mountains, but in reality, it owes its name to the abundant plant life that releases volatile organic compounds into the air. These compounds mix with moisture to create a blue-grey mist that gives the mountains their ethereal appearance.
As you set up your hammock between two trees in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you’ll be surrounded by some of the most diverse flora and fauna in North America.
While any season is a good time to visit this park, spring and fall offer particularly stunning vistas as wildflowers bloom and leaves change color.
Don’t forget to pack your hammocking gear for your trip – you’ll want all of your essentials close at hand as you explore this incredible wilderness area.
Acadia National Park In Maine
Acadia National Park in Maine is a hidden gem for hammock enthusiasts. The park boasts of beautiful rocky coastline, lush greenery, and stunning mountainous views that make it a perfect spot to unwind and relax.
Not only does the park offer tons of trails to hike and explore but also several secluded spots where you can set up your hammock and take in the breathtaking scenery.
When visiting Acadia National Park, it’s important to pack the right hammocking gear. You’ll want to bring a sturdy hammock with durable straps that won’t damage the trees or vegetation. Also, don’t forget to pack a bug net and rainfly as Maine weather can be unpredictable.
The best time to visit Acadia is from late May through early October when the weather is mild, and the crowds have thinned out.
Overall, Acadia National Park is a great destination for anyone looking for an escape from their busy lives. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or just want to lounge around in your hammock, this park has something for everyone. So grab your gear and head out on an adventure!
