A sluggish economy isn't deterring people from visiting the Smokies.

In fact, we've learned visits to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are up eight percent from last year.

October and November are peak months due to the foliage.

More than 1.1 million people visited in October and almost another 658,000 visited November.
