What are things to do in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

First and foremost: the outdoors are calling. Abundant rainfall and many different elevation levels make for a fascinating display of flora and fauna in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You’ll have your pick of trails to hike, rivers and lakes to fish, float, or kayak, and roadside overlooks for easy mountain views. (And to continue enjoying the rustic side of eastern Tennessee, consider booking chalets in Pigeon Forge or Pigeon Forge cabin rentals.)

• From April through November, you can drive about an hour to Clingmans Dome for a unique way to see these breathtaking views. A very steep, spiraled walkway rises from the trees to meet an observation tower for 360-degree panoramas.  
• For more hiking, turn your sneakers to the family-friendly Laurel Falls, about 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge. At two-and-a-half miles out and back, it’s not too strenuous and offers beautiful scenery and cascading waterfalls.
• Take a scenic drive out to the 11-mile loop at Cades Cove, passing lush meadows and historic, rustic buildings that are perfect for photographs. 
• While hiking trails are a great way to explore, you can also sightsee the area by horseback ride, white water rafting, or exhilarating zip lines at Smoky Mountain Ziplines.
