Great Smoky mountains? Would never have guessed. There literally isn't breathing room at Yosemite, so a assumed it would be most popular

how is it possible that the number of parks stayed the same since 1985 when parks like Pinnacles, Congaree, Great Sand Dunes, and more were all established after that date? I know that they were already part of the NPS system, so that wouldn't change the total, but that would still change the number of Parks.
