Its been a good 10 years since i’ve been to tennesee so im sure much has changed. What i remember of this place…. the mountains are very beautiful and i loved driving around in the country just staring out the window at the scenery and taking pictures of the mountains. I remember Gatlinburg being full of little shops and being very touristy, but hey isnt that why some of us go? Some days were very busy and crowded, but i got to do some fun things. Its a family friendly place with lots of fun stuff to do and see. You can stay in town or travel out into the mountains. You cant go and NOT experience the mountains, hiking, or caves!
