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...

Sets and subsets of geographic names. Great Smoky Mountains at the south end of the Blue Ridge are part of the Appalachian Mountains which extend from Georgia into Maritime Canada.

Like wondering whether you are from Cedar Island, or North Carolina, or the United States of America, or North America. The answer is yes.
