2 days in Cherokee Itinerary

The center of Cherokee culture in the eastern part of the country, the town named after this Native American tribe serves as a base camp for hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains.

On the 5th (Mon), admire the sheer force of Mingo Falls, then take in the exciting artwork at Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, then see the interesting displays at Museum of the Cherokee Indian, and finally try your luck at Casino at Harrah’s Cherokee. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: contemplate the long history of Oconaluftee Indian Village, walk around Oconaluftee Islands Park, and then take a pleasant ride with a tour on horseback.
