National Parks

Top five national parks for generating area revenue...

(1) Great Smoky Mountains: $818 million
(2) Grand Canyon: $415 million
(3) Yosemite: $354 million
(4) Yellowstone: $334 million
(5) Blue Ridge Parkway: $299 million

We live in the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains. It's interesting that park generates almost double the tourism dollars as the second-place national park. It's even more interesting when considering the Smokies do not charge any admission for park visitation when almost every other national park does charge for entrance!
