Weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains Travel Guide | What to Do, See, & Eat!

Welcome to the Great Smoky Mountains! For our time in this beautiful part of the country, we spent some time in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (the most visited national park in the US), explored the tourist towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and ended our time at our favorite theme park… Dollywood!

== About Us ==
We’re Matt & Nat, a parttime, nonremote travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. In 2021 we visited all 50 US states & documented our entire journey on our blog & here on YouTube! After spending a full year focused on such a defined goal, 2022 left us feeling a little lost & wondering "What's next?". We continued traveling & creating vlogs but always with the "What's next?" question lingering. During one of our trips, we came across the book “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” & were immediately drawn in by it & knew that it had to be a part of our adventures. So, in January 2023 we officially launched our “1,000 Places To See Before You Die” series where we’ve set out to see as many of the “1,000 Places To See Before You Die”… before we die!

We hope you’ll join us on the adventure & find some adventures of your own along the way! And remember... It’s better to see something once (even if only for a moment) than to hear about it a thousand times.
