Ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezilithoba zeendwendwe eziza kwi KwiPaki yeSizwe eNkulu yeNtaba unyaka nonyaka, kwaye akunzima ukubona ukuba kutheni. Uluhlu olungezantsi lweAppalachian lunqumla umda phakathi kwempuma yeTennessee nentshona North Carolina kunye nepaki egubungela ngaphezulu kweekhilomitha ezingama-800 kwaye likhaya leentlobo ezingaphezu kwe-19,000. Phakathi kwazo kukho iibhere ezimnyama, ielk, eziphinde zaphinda zaphinda zaveliswa ngo-2001, kunye nepygmy shrew encinci.

Uluhlu luye lwafumana igama lalo ngenkungu ehlala kumanqwanqwa anehlathi, ibanika umgangatho otshayayo. Ngamaxesha onyaka amane ahlukeneyo, akukho xesha lingalunganga lokundwendwela. Eyona ndlela yokujonga ipaki? Khetha irente yeekhabini kwenye yeedolophu ezikufuphi ukuze uchithe usuku uhlolisisa ngaphambi kokuba uye ekhaya ngokuhlwa okumnandi kwindawo yomlilo.

Inye kuphela indawo yokuhlala ngaphakathi epakini, kodwa zininzi izinto onokukhetha kuzo kwindawo ejikelezileyo. Ezi ayizizo iikhabhathi zeengodo eziqingqiweyo zabahlali bokuqala. Namhlanje, iindwendwe zingahlala kwiikhabhathi ezintle ezixhotyiswe ngeJacuzzis kunye neWi-Fi. Kwicala laseTennessee, uPigeon Forge kunye Gatlinburg ziindawo ezithandwayo. Khetha enye eneembono zeentaba ukuze ubukele ilanga liphuma ngasemva kweentaba.

Kwelinye icala loluhlu, kanye emaphethelweni epaki eMantla Carolina, iyathandeka iBryson City. Indawo yokuhlala Uluhlu olusuka kwindawo yokuhlala encinci yosapho ukuya kwiindawo zokulala ezinokuhlala iindwendwe ezimbalwa. Ngaphezulu kancinci emantla, iLake Junaluska yenye indlela elungileyo yeendwendwe.

Ukuba uyafuna ukuhlala epakini kwaye ujonge amava awodwa onobunewunewu obuncinci- funda: izibane zeparafini kunye nokufudumeza kwepropane- ILeConte Lodge kukuphela kwendawo yokuhlala esisigxina epakini uqobo. Ime kwiNtaba yeLeConte, ipaki yesithathu ephezulu, kwaye ekuphela kwendlela yokufikelela kuyo zihamba ngeenyawo, ngokunyuka ukuze bafumane ukusuka kwi-5.5 ukuya kwi-8 yeemayile.
