Tighten Those Laces

A little dirt never hurt, as your granny might have said. Great Smoky Mountains National Park has an unfathomable amount of hiking trails. Each trail is unique and varietal. There are about 150 or so hiking trails jam-packed with oozing waterfalls and beautiful, lush foliage to witness. You’ll experience amazing views and wandering wildlife too!

Arrowmont School of Art

Arrowmont is more than a school, it is also a living history museum that represents the heritage and history of the Appalachian people. Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts has a seasonal gallery on display created by local artists in residency.

2-Wheeled View

Consider cycling through Cades Cove Loop Road during the early day on your bicycle. You’ll get to see Cades Cove in a whole new light (dawn!). It will be just you, your coffee thermos, the foliage, and the wildlife.

Picnic Like A Pro

Picnicking is one of the most admired pastimes of visitors to the Smokies. Everyone will notice that there is a “perfect picnic spot” just about everywhere you turn!

Auto-Touring All-Around

Auto Touring has been and (will forever be) the most favorite way to explore the Smokies. Aside from hiking, all you need is a pair of binoculars and a breeze! Take to the roads of Cades Cove where you can watch for wildlife. Breathe in the smell of the fresh mountain air, and even park to venture off to explore the age-old structures.
