this is the most visited National Park but why? GO

Because there’s something for everyone. Because you can go back and forth between Gatlinburg and pigeon forge all day and see two different scenes and people love it. Gatlinburg is for my nature lovers and pigeon forge is for those who like more touristy attractions. Here is a comprehensive list of my top spots after going my whole life to both :)

Skybridge there’s a trail and a ski lift. The view from the clear bridge is amazing. The trail is really easy and flat.

Hillbilly Golf my fave mini golf. You take a small lift to your course of choice.

The Village Shops looks like a fairytale

Cades Cove get there at sunrise and drive the loop, you will most likely see a bear here.

Alcatraz East Crime Museum if you love true crime you’ll love this.

Laurel Falls Trail genuinely one of my fave hiking trails.

Sunliner Diner kind of pricey but an old diner with great burgers.

The Yard Milkshake Bar OMG BEST MILKSHAKES

Have you ever been, are you going this summer?

Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are renowned for their natural beauty and tourist attractions, contributing to the park's immense popularity. The Skybridge offers breathtaking views and a peaceful trail, ideal for family outings. Hillbilly Golf presents a whimsical mini-golf experience that adults and kids will love. For those who enjoy shopping, The Village Shops resemble a fairytale landscape, making it a perfect stop for charming souvenirs. Don't miss Cades Cove, particularly at sunrise, where you're likely to spot wildlife, including bears. If true crime piques your interest, the Alcatraz East Crime Museum is a fascinating stop-off. Adventurous visitors can explore the Laurel Falls Trail, one of the park’s most beloved hikes, while food lovers can delight in the delicious offerings at the Sunliner Diner and The Yard Milkshake Bar, featuring some of the best milkshakes around. This summer, don’t miss experiencing these diverse attractions that cater to both nature lovers and those seeking vibrant entertainment!
