re: 4 day trip with small kids in June

We went to the Smokey Mountains last year in June. Stayed in a cabin between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg,TN. Went to Dollywood which was the cleanest and nicest amusement park I've ever been to. Did a few touristy things in Pigeon Forge, walked across the suspension bridge in Gatlinburg, took an ATV mud riding trip through the mountains, rented an ATV, (you can drive them on the road, they are street legal, you can rent ones that will fit your whole family) and drove through Smokey Mountain National Park and went white water rafting. Overall, we had a great time, the weather was great. My boys were 20 and 16 but there is a lot you can do with small kids. There are several dinner shows, I wish I would have gone to one, just ran out of time.

Now with all that being said, it is a tourist trap area but I didn't mind, crowds weren't bad and if you don't like the touristy stuff that's ok, the scenery is beautiful and you can find lots of things to do. Wherever you go, enjoy your time with your family, they grow up quick!
