Gatlinburg

DH and I will be in Gatlinburg for about 2 or 2 1/2 days at the end of June.  I have never been before. 

What are some highly recommended attractions?  We like a little bit of everything - outdoorsy stuff, scenic stuff, shopping (well, me at least), museums (if they're really interesting), etc.  We're staying close to the strip I believe.

Also, what are some really good restaurants in the area that you recommend eating at?  Price wise, I would think we would like stay around the Texas Roadhouse/Outback/O'Charley's price range.  If there's a really good restaurant that's a tad more, I would be interested in checking that out as well.

 

Thanks!

  • There is gorgeous hiking. I've never done Cades Cove (but I've been dying to!!) My husband and I usually drive up to Newfound Gap and hike a little bit of the Appalachian Trail. Clingman's Dome is a little farther up the way and is gorgeous as well.</p

  • We took the cable car up to the top of the mountain as well - they also do a chair lift ride up, but it was raining that day. Not a whole lot up there other than an arcade and a restaurant, but we went up mostly to see the black bears.

  • Okay since I am from this area, I can help you out. Some of the stuff in Gatlinburg is very shall we say tourist trapish? I would typically avoid anything that says Ripley's on it...except the aquarium it's not bad. Also, they have a super fun putt putt c
