America’s national parks are all beautiful and special. From the majesty of Yellowstone and its freeroaming bison, to the breathtaking dramatic landscapes of Arches National Park in Utah to the captivating Grand Canyon, one of the world’s natural wonders. But only one park can make the claim that it routinely has more visitors than any other.

Covering more than 500thousand acres in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a oneday drive from 60percent of the nation’s population. But the popularity of the Smokies goes far beyond their geographical accessibility.

Generations of Americans have made these mountains and the communities which serve as their gateway a vacation destination. The resort town of Gatlinburg, used as home base for many travelers to explore the magic of the mountains and the greater area.

If you’re planning a firsttime trip to the Smokies and all the research on what to do has you a bit overwhelmed, you’ve come to the right place. I want to help you with recommendations on the best things to do in Gatlinburg and other spots in the Great Smoky Mountains. Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Townsend, Wear’s Valley. I'm covering it all from my native East Tennessee.
