Gatlinburg, Tennessee: Family-Friendly Fun amid the Great Smoky Mountains

Gatlinburg sits just north of the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee, near the border of North Carolina. The city is just a few miles from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, one of America’s most popular national parks. Here, you can hike more than 100 trails that wend past waterfalls and pioneer-era log cabins tucked deep within the densely forested mountains. Or, drive or bike along the 11-mile loop through Cades Cove, a broad valley known for its ample wildlife-viewing opportunities; deer, black bears, wild turkeys, and vacationing college mascots are known to frequent the open meadows.

Hop on one of Gatlinburg’s red-and-green trolleys to explore downtown Gatlinburg and surrounding areas. The trolleys stop at more than 100 locations in and around the city, including Great Smoky Mountains National Park (June–October) and Dollywood. There are also indoor water parks, ghost tours, and quirky museums throughout the city, which include Ripley's Believe it or Not Odditorium, Guinness World Records Museum, and a museum showcasing more than 20,000 salt and pepper shakers.
