The U.S. may hold the nickname of "America the Beautiful," but the awe-inspiring scenery, breathtaking views and one-of-a-kind outposts stretch far beyond the borders of the states.
LoveExploring compiled a list of the "most beautiful attractions" found around the "vast and diverse" continent that is North America, searching for incredible spots like "captivating cities," sparkling waters in hidden lakes and picturesque wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see. Among the list is one gorgeous spot in Tennessee.
Sharing the title with North Carolina, Great Smoky Mountains National Park was praised as one of the most beautiful places in all of North America thanks to its magnificent scenery and views for miles.
Here's what the site had to say about this stunning spot:
"The forested peaks and valleys of this national park resemble a painting. Or a whole gallery of paintings on rotation throughout the day and seasons, from the intricate detail of fir trees and spring blooms to the abstract lines of the misty, layered mountains at dusk and sunrise. Clingman's Dome, the highest point in Tennessee at 6,643 feet, keeps a watchful eye on the beguiling landscape with views stretching more than 100 miles on clear days."
