@nationalparkservice The Great Smoky Mountains were more than home to Dolly Parton, they were part of her story. The mountains shaped the songs she wrote, the stories she told, and the way she saw the world. And throughout her life, Dolly never stopped sharing her love for these places, inviting generations of people to discover their beauty and find a little bit of that mountain spirit for themselves. Thank you, Dolly. 🦋 NPS Photos
