Gatlinburg area, and the Great Smokies.
Lookout Mountain
The elk area south of Clingman’s Dome at feeding time.
Ok but what? Whats the lookout I should hike to? Your favorite waterfall? Favorite hellbender breeding pond?
Where does that famous incognito guy hang out in Gatlinburg? Secret rock club? Free moonshine and bluegrass festival?
“Gatlinburg area, and the Great Smokies.”
One of the best parts of Tennessee! But just be aware this time of year is jam-packed with tourists. One of the marketing people I talked with yesterday said it took him almost 2 hours to drive the few miles from downtown Gatlinburg back to Pigeon Forge.
And Beale Street in Memphis can be fun, but once it hits midnight you better get out of there. That’s when the thugs start to take it over.
And also, if you don’t know Memphis very well, please talk to a trusted local about which areas NOT to go even during the daytime.
