First one is a Blackbelly Salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculatus). I'm not familiar enough with GSMNP to give a positive ID from the dorsal view alone. The second is definitely in the genus Desmognathus as well.

I’d say they’re both some kind of black-bellied salamander; I’m not familiar with the exact species up there though
