Smoky Mountain Stories Tells the Tales of the Park
There’s a lot of history here in the Smoky Mountains, from the places to the people to the communities. And if you’re like me, you enjoy knowing a little about the place you’re going to visit. Even if it is just to impress the locals that you’ve done your homework.
Get Outside and Get Moving in the Smokies
The last few entries have dealt with perhaps the most important part of your trip to the Smokies –eating. Now, once you have all that energy from a great meal, what are you going to do with it? You probably know there is a world of options in Sevier County. The hard part is narrowing down your choices to find activities that suit you best. So if you want to keep working on your New Year’s resolution, you’ll have to find a way to get those calories off. How about hiking, camping, biking, rafting, or paddling? They get you outdoors and get you moving. If this is your idea of fun, you better head to Nantahala Outdoor Center (or NOC) in Gatlinburg.
