6 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 some historical perspective at Biltmore and Thomas Wolfe Memorial. Visiting Roaring Fork and Laurel Falls will get you outdoors. Explore Gatlinburg's surroundings by going to Bush's Visitor Center (in Chestnut Hill), Sevierville (Forbidden Caverns & Tennessee Legend Distillery - Newport Hwy) and Asheville (The Folk Art Center & Woolworth Walk). And it doesn't end there: get in on the family fun at Rowdy Bear Mountain, examine the collection at Hollywood Star Cars Museum, view the masterpieces at Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community, and sample the fine beverages at Ole Smoky Whiskey Barrelhouse.
