What is the name of the NC mountain chain where I am at?

I'm so confused. I'm a flat lander now living in Hickory NC, east of Asheville and SE of Boone. Would a local please explain the name of the beautiful mountains I see. I hear Great Smokey's; Appalachi...

Well since I was born it has been Appa-latch-an. And when DD graduated from App. The Chancellor pronounced it Appa-latch-an, and since there is not a y in it, or any thing that even looks, or sounds like a y. And since the Indians named them, and a Hatchet is called a hatchet, and not a lay chet. I'm going with Appa-latch-an
