Fun little stop with maps, etc and a museum with animals (taxidermy) from Smokey Mountains.

Wasn't very welcoming. It was packed with people when I went (on a weekday in the fall) and most of the official maps and information cost money. Rangers were simply too busy or non-existant.

The park service advertises Great Smoky Mountains National Park as being "free." I would've rather paid an admission fee and had a few small brochures given to me as I entered the park.
