I am bringing a school group from Florida to the park. We have Saturday morning free for a tour. Any suggestions of places that will keep a bunch of teenagers interested for a few hours? I'm thinking of Newfound Gap Road with a trip to Clingman's Dome, and a few waterfalls. We'll be there April 26-29, 2007. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Cades Cove is always a good choice...it's mostly a "ride through". but has places that you can get out and explore...check the times though seems like on Sat it opens late for cars...early for bikers...lots of deer if you get there at the right time...
Clingman's dome might be more interesting for them...Got to be in decent shape it is a pretty good hike to the top...not for those that have a phobia of heights. My wife wouldn't even look out once we got up there...scared to death..
Thanks for the suggestion, I think that's what we'll do.
This booklet comes in very handy if you visit the Cataloochee Valley. You will learn a lot about the valley and its settlers by reading and following the booklet itinerary while visiting the area.
You can get this at the entrance in the valley. Just lift the top of the box, take the booklet and put the money in the box. The booklet costs 1 US dollar and it is worth every penny!
Take a step back in time and see some of the history of the Smoky Mountains. The cabin was built in 1859 and inhabited by a family with 11 children; one of the girls and all of the boys left and moved out of the area, and 6 sisters stayed in the cabin for the rest of their lives.
This is a neat place to spend an afternoon. To get here from Gatlinburg, drive into the Smoky Mountains National Park and turn towards the Sugarlands Visitor Center ** might want to take a rest stop here, not too many "real" toilets after this ** Go past the visitor center and drive maybe 5 miles? and look on the right for the sign for Metcalf Bottoms. Turn in there and follow the signs for the Little Greenbrier School. Park in the parking lot for the school and check out the school and then go up the hill to see the Walker Sisters' cabin. From the school, the cabin is a 1.1 mile hike. It is a beautiful walk through the woods, and although there are some bumpy parts in the road, I pushed my grandson in his stroller.
If you are fortunate to visit Biltmore Estates late spring 2010 you will also have the chance to enjoy the Antler Hill Village. Construction was taken place when we visited in June 2009 and unfortunately the only thing we could enjoy here was the sign of this future attraction.
When we first entered The Park Grill I had visions of being at Yellowstone Lodge in Wyoming. This place is much smaller, but still has the same look, with massive wooden log beams forming a rustic cathedral. A beautiful mural, in three parts - separated by the beams - depicts historic Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. For that "National Park" feel you will definitely want to enjoy dinner one evening at The Park Grill. The restaurant is open daily for dinner only, beginning at 5 p.m. We enjoyed a Smoky Mountain specialty: "Abram's Creek Rainbow Trout," pan fried with lemon butter caper sauce - grilled over old hickory charcoal - served with lightly seasoned rice.
Everytime we visit Gatlinburg we like to go horseback riding. We like to try a new stable every time we go. There are so many to choose from and each one offers something different. The terrain or the view and even the guide. We have never had a bad ride or bad guide. They have all been wonderful. Try any of the stables in the Great Smoky Mountains Park. McCarters is right inside the entrance from downtown Gatlinburg. That one is adventureous due to the mountains that you are traveling through. The stable inside Cades Cove was a little more tamer. But both have beautiful scenery. Waldens Creek stable in Pigeon Forge is very nice also. Another one we rode at was right near Dollywood. I don't remember the name of the stable but we had the nicest guide who attends college in Berea KY.
