GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS
Located just 1 hour from downtown Knoxville, the “Smokies” is our backyard national park. With opportunities for beautiful hikes, waterfalls, swimming holes, river tubing, caves, camping, biking, and even horseback riding, you can always find something the entire family will enjoy. Although the park spans into North Carolina, we share our favorite easy hiking trails and things to do on the Tennessee side of the park. We focus mostly on hikes and activities around the Townsend entrance to the park versus Gatlinburg because we enjoy “the peaceful side of the Smokies.”
