Gatlinburg Travel Blogs

Out last day, we packed up and loaded the car.  Driving was a bit easier now that I’d had some practice.  We got out of the National Forest with no problems and only minor slowdowns through Pigeon Forge.  I could not help myself and we stopped at the “world’s largest ‘As-Seen…

What a great week it has been. We had plenty to do and the weather held out for us. We are packing our suitcases trying to make everything fit again..lol.  We enjoy staying at Carr's Cottages even more this year. We stayed in the apartment style. They offer motel rooms, cottages, apartments,…

My wife loves visiting National Parks and well, although not as much as she, I do too. We had intended on flying over to Rapid City, South Dakota and seeing Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills area.  We were also going to visit Devil's Tower in Wyoming, and sneek up into southeast Montana. …

I woke up early in the morning so I could beat the traffic in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.  In reality, Knoxville is very close to both locations, but man the traffic is terrible.  It is similar to being at the beach during spring break.  As you drive down the strip, you can’t help…

I love this place

We decided to take the excursion to Gatlinburg, which was a great idea. I had never heard of this Tennessee town, which possibly shows my lack of American knowledge, but I'm glad I was exposed to it. The main reason was for the Hard Rock Cafe, but we found so much more in G-burg and Pidgeon For…

A welcome week-long getaway! I absolutely love Gatlinburg!

Clingmans Dome, located near the center of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just off of US-441 (aka Newfound Gap Road), is the most visited US State highpoint in the most visited US National Park. From the fairly unique lookout tower (often called the "flying saucer") one can see beautiful v…

As of Feb 2008 I left Australia in order to travel the USA visiting family and friends along the way. Starting in California I ventured on to Minnesota, roadtripped to Tennessee and will be off to New York to work at a summer camp in the coming months. An action packed and eye opening experience so far
