    People say 'oh it's so touristy', but isn't that what makes it so fun? Hillbilly golf I still remember playing as a kid.

    IMO, you haven't fully experienced Gatlinburg until you've visited during "Change of Color" season in the fall. It's fun to rent a big cabin and take the family.

    I have been to
    gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I prefer Great Smokey Mountain National Park. I feel like many people that visit the area don’t go to the Park. The eleven mile loop of Cades Cove is like stepping back into a beautiful place in the past.

    The Smoky Mtns got its name from the Cherokee. They called it "Shaconage" place of blue smoke. Because of the blue mist that hovers above the mountains. Just wanted to give some insight into the why the name was chosen for the Mountains.

    I am loving this travel series. I think many of us travel the world to find natures beauty only to realise that beauty abounds in our own countries when we start to explore as you are in this series.

    At Christmas time, the sky bridge lights up at night as you walk on it. Gaitlinburg & Pigeon Forge are full of lights at that time of year. Just beautiful. If you want good food & a show, visit The Hatfield & McCoys! All you can eat! Fantastic! Enjoyed watching!

    I am so glad you made it to Gatlinburg. It is a neat place to visit. They have so much shopping, things to do and see. Gatlinburg reminds me of the way Myrtle Beach used to be years ago. At the beach you used to stay on Ocean Blvd, and walk everywhere. It is the same in Gatlinburg, just no beach. I love Gatlinburg so much. It has changed alot over the years but it is still beautiful. Cades Cove is beautiful, the Applachian Trail is great for hiking. There are beautiful waterfalls in the Smokies too. I live in North Carolina close to Charlotte, it is a great place to live, close to a big city, 4 hours to the beach and 2 hours to the mountains. Hope yall will come back soon. The fall colors will be coming up soon.

    It is so cool seeing you in places where I've been and eating in places we have.. LIving in Southeastern Kentucky, just about 2 or so hours away from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, we visit there a few times a year. We are going in a couple of weeks for the Jeep Invasion.

    One cool thing to do in Pidgeon Forge if your into it, is the Titanic Museum they will not let you film inside but once you go in it is a replica of the Titanic and it has actual artifacts that was retrieved from the Titanic it is really cool.

    I know it’s touristy but the Ripley Believe it or Not and it’s Haunted counterpart are good and we always visit the Ripleys Aquarium of the Smokies.

    We did Anakeesta last fall. Very nice. It has its own version of the sky bridge that traverses through the woods, and you could see bears.

    My boys are now 19 and 22. They go to Gatlingburg and PF every other late September since they were 7 and 10 and they still love it! So much to do and see and eat! Changes of the leaves are breathtaking and vintage cars in PF late September. Love the Skylift at night. Glad y’all having a blast

    We love Ole Smokey Moonshine and Whiskey. The Moonshine location has a Behind-The-Still Tour, where you get a brief tour and explanation of the making of moonshine, which includes a tasting session. Very good. I see you found the moonshine pickles. You gotta try the moonshine cherries 🍒. Down the street where I see you were; the Salty Caramel Whiskey is so smooth and has the caramel taste and smell. Our favorite!

    You guys seem to love road trips. As a lifetime Minnesotan, I highly recommend you come visit my great state-specifically the north shore along Lake Superior, in Duluth, MN. It’s beautiful, and you wouldn’t be disappointed! Along your way, visit the Mall of America in Bloomington.

    The cheapest parking in Gatlinburg is the two municipal parking garages at either end of the main street and behind the equarium, for $10 all day.

You have got to put on your "to do" list to visit Utah.....we are spending the summer here in Helper Utah, took a ride today thru the National Forest, OMG the places you could camp with your van spectacular scenery away from the maddening crowds! You two do an AWESOME job with the video presentations!
