10 days in Gatlinburg Itinerary

Nestled in the lush, wooded forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is Tennessee’s premier mountain resort destination.

Get out of town with these interesting Gatlinburg side-trips: Sevier Distilling Company (in Sevierville), River Rafting & Tubing (in Hartford) and Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Cades Cove, Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, &more). There's still lots to do: get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Ole Smoky, learn about winemaking at Tennessee Homemade Wines, and take in the waterfront at The Island in Pigeon Forge.
