}}'''Newfound Gap''' (el. {{convert|5048|ft|m}}) is a [[mountain pass]] located near the center of the [[Great Smoky Mountains National Park]] of the southern [[Appalachian Mountains]] in the United States. Situated along the border of [[Tennessee]] and [[North Carolina]], the state line crosses the gap, as does Newfound Gap Road (which overlaps [[U.S. Route 441]] through the park and ends at the park's boundaries near [[Gatlinburg, Tennessee]], and [[Cherokee, North Carolina]]). The [[Appalachian Trail]] also traverses the gap, as do a few other [[hiking]] [[trail]]s.

Newfound Gap is home to the Rockefeller Memorial, a popular destination within the national park and the site from where President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] formally dedicated the park on September 2, 1940.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/historyculture/stories.htm |title=Stories |website=nps.gov |access-date=December 3, 2021}}</ref> According to the [[National Weather Service]], Newfound Gap has around 19 snowy days per year. From 1991 to 2005, annual snowfall ranged from {{convert|43.5|in|cm}} to {{convert|106|in|cm}}.<ref>[http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mrx/skywarn/awareness/wwaw2008.pdf] {{dead link|date=November 2021}}</ref>
