Before the park was established, the states of Tennesee and North Carolina built the road in order to connect the towns of Gatlinburg and Cherokee. Newfound Gap Road is one of the main roadways through the park. Why is Great Smoky Mountains National Park free? Would it surprise you to learn that our most visited national park, Great Smoky Mountains, doesn’t charge an entrance fee? In an era where our national parks are struggling with a maintenance backlog and insufficient funding, this can seem crazy. Many of us shell out the money (or buy an annual pass) happily, knowing the funds help care for the places we love. It can cost $35 per vehicle to visit many of our national parks, including some of the crown jewels like Grand Canyon, Zion and Yellowstone.
