 TravellerMel Says:  The first day of our honeymoon, and my new husband had reserved a Zipline tour for us - FUN! NOT cheap [~ $65 (including tax)], but since we got one free for booking our cabin (see Pigeon Forge tip re: Intimate Hideaway), it wasn't as bad.Reservation system is not the best -... 

Forbidden Caverns

Forbidden Caverns, Sevierville

 TravellerMel Says:  Very cool - literally! Inside the Forbidden Caverns it is 58 degrees year round! Admission is $14/adult, but look for the $1 admission coupon in every tourist booklet.

In a tourist town with dozens of restaurants, this one caters not to tourists, but to the downtown business and courthouse crowd. The food has to...

Photo Op - Harrisburg Covered Bridge (1875), Sevierville

Harrisburg Covered Bridge

Harrisburg Covered Bridge, Sevierville

 Stephen-KarenConn Says:  The Harrisburg Covered Bridge is the only remaining old covered bridge in Sevier County, and one of only six left in Tennessee. In my opinion it is also the prettiest.
