Gatlinburg, Tennessee
When planning any kind of trip, there are always various aspects of your experience that need to be factored into it. From the tranquility to the actual activities you do, there are a lot of things to consider in your travel plans.
Gatlinburg has a reputation as not only a place where you can experience and enjoy nature but a place where you can bring the whole family for some stories you can tell for years.
But unfortunately, even though it’s beautifully situated in the Smoky Mountains, this popular small town is everything a mountain vacation SHOULDN’T be. Visitors usually expect a quiet log cabin in the woods.
Yet, they often get what looks more like a theme park than a quiet mountain town. For a town that boasts “the great outdoors,” there’s a questionable amount of over-priced mini-golf, wax museums, indoor water parks, and a bunch of knock-offs of Cirque du Soleil shows.
