7 days in Bryson City Itinerary

The location of an old Cherokee village, Bryson City embraces a quiet side of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Wheels Through Time Transportation Museum and Elizabeth Ellison Gallery. Get out of town with these interesting Bryson City side-trips: Great Smoky Mountains National Park (in Gatlinburg), Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Clingmans Dome, Alum Cave Trail, & more) and Anna Ruby Falls (in Helen). There's much more to do: let the river carry you with a rafting and tubing tour, go for a walk through Deep Creek National Park, try to win big at Casino at Harrah’s Cherokee, and examine the collection at Smoky Mountain Trains Museum.
