| Trivia: Is it the Smoky or Smokey Mountains? |
Both are common spellings, however, if you want to be correct about it, spell it the way the National Park Service does: The Great Smoky Mountains. Smokey the Bear, on the other hand, spells his name the other way. And if you're wondering about "Smokeys", "Smokys" or "Smokies" - well, technically they're all correct.
