Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Another of East Tennessee’s stunning parts of the Smokies is Gatlinburg. This rustic mountain escape is full of entertaining activities for everyone. If you lean more towards indoor pastimes some of the most popular include Ripley’s Aquarium, a variety of shops, and a plethora of delicious dining options. Some of the best restaurants we have found are Tennessee Jed’s, Ski Mountain Pizza and Johnny Rockets, all of which we would give a 10/10. For those who are more interested in outdoor activities, you have come to the right place! Anakeesta is an exquisite mountain-top experience (literally). With dining options, a treetop skywalk, and mountain roller coaster rides, you will never be bored here! After your visit to Anakeesta, take a stroll along the longest sky bridge in North America at the SkyPark followed by bird watching, horseback riding, hiking or mountain biking. There is something for everyone in Gatlinburg and we highly recommend the trip!
