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 in touch with nature at Roaring Fork and Chimney Rock State Park. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Dry Falls and River Rafting & Tubing. Venture out of the city with trips to Tuckaleechee Caverns (in Townsend), Asheville (Lexington Glassworks & The North Carolina Arboretum) and Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail (in Great Smoky Mountains National Park). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Wheels Through Time Transportation Museum, trek along Middle Prong Trail, experience rural life at Wehrloom Honey, and take a memorable drive along Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook.
