[Imports-us] Update for Great Smoky Mountains National Park

[Elliott Plack]

Thomas,

This sounds like a great undertaking, and one that will be useful for the
community. I'm working on a Maryland State Park import and have been
reading through the wiki and reconsidering some tags. Have you looked into
the boundary=protected_area tag? Certainly, the boundary data for the park
is already in OSM, but there may be individual areas within the park that
are protected to varying degrees. I'm interested in the different
protect_class levels, and what they might mean for the NPS. You might be
able to add such areas to the map.

Thanks,

Elliott
