Gatlinburg, TN recommendations

We went last year, and will go again this year. Last year we hiked to a different water fall everyday. I would say the Ramsey's Cascades was the best.

yes cades cove is a must, also plenty trails
to hike. If you want short ones, long ones, ones with waterfalls. Stop at sugarlands visitors center soon as you leave gburg to head to cades cove, they wil have maps and park rangers to show you anything you need.

also wears valley rd that comes into pigeon forge has a place called goats on the roof thats pretty funny, and alpine slides.

pigeon forge has huge outlet malls and plenty of dinner shows like lumberjack fud and hatfields and mccoys that are both good, among others.

smokey mountain knife works is awesome if your into that

Is Clingman's Dome open that early in the year?

I don't know. I heard Clingman's dome is worth seeing though.

To all, thanks for the advice so far. Heeding all of it so far...keep it coming.

Just looked it up.

Although Clingmans Dome Observation Tower is open year-round, the road leading to it is closed from December 1 through March 31, and whenever weather conditions require.

Cades Cove is a must visit for anyone visiting the area. Where are y'all staying? I highly recommend the Lodge at Buckberry Creek if you aren't wanting to go the cabin route. The aquarium is top notch. Get out of town a little and zipline at Firefox Mountain. Really nice, family run property with a great trail to a waterfall and tons of ziplines. English Mountain Trout Farm and Grill is hands down the coolest dining experience in the area. You catch your own trout from their pond and they cook it right there for you. I visit the area often even though I live only a few hours away in the mountains already. You will have a good time no matter where you go. Pics of GF or STFH.

Why are you going to that hell hole ?

I never understand the number of recommendation threads for Gatlinburg. It's beautiful there and that's the end of the story.

Go to all the moonshine and wine tasting. I think there are 4 shine places and 2 or 3 wine places.

Get drunk enjoy the scenery, it's supposed to be a relaxing vacation.

Get bombed, take some 480 peptide penis juice and make your wife walk crooked. It's not rocket science.

Fly rod. Hike and fish for trout going to the waterfalls.

Be prepared to hate yuppies and deer
