If the mountains are what you came for, then you won’t be disappointed.  With over 200 miles of hiking trails, rushing mountain streams tumbling over countless tranquil waterfalls, and a variety of flora and fauna unsurpassed anywhere on earth, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is truly a nature lovers paradise.  But not trip to the Smokies is complete without a visit to famous Cades Cove.  Once home to Indians and pioneers, Cades Cove is a pristine wilderness valley nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains.  Bike or drive the eleven mile loop road, go horseback riding, trout fishing, hiking, or just relax with a picnic lunch and soak in the undisturbed beauty.

All of this, and just 20 miles from action-packed Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Dixie Stampede, Dolly’s Splash Country outlet malls, craft shops, museums, dinner theaters, art galleries, miniature golf, bumper boats-something to satisfy everyone’s taste!  Then on to Gatlinburg, visit the Aquarium, shop in old world charm, ride the tram to Ober Gatlinburg for year-round ice skating or seasonal snow skiing, or dine in an elegant restaurant beside a babbling mountain brook. Then onto Sevierville with countless outlet shopping, dinner theaters, museums, caverns and dining.   With so much to do well keep you coming back again and again.
