Best Things to do in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains

It was a cool and misty morning with the rolling hills cloaked in a gentle mist making everything magical. I'd dressed for cool temperatures, but soon the sun would burn through and I'd be shedding layers. Winter, or summer, spring or fall, the Smoky Mountains beckon with activities and fun. You can opt for the attraction-packed (and often quite crowded) towns of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, or the peaceful side towns of Townsend and Maryville filled with special places to discover.
