3 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.

Visiting Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail and Alum Cave Trail will get you outdoors. Museum-lovers will appreciate Hollywood Star Cars Museum and Fowler's Clay Works. There's still lots to do: identify plant and animal life at Roaring Fork, take in the awesome beauty at Mount LeConte, trek along Rainbow Falls Trail, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Noah Bud Ogle Cabin.

To see where to stay, photos, more things to do, and tourist information, refer to the Gatlinburg road trip planning site.

In May, daily temperatures in Gatlinburg can reach 79°F, while at night they dip to 57°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 25th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
