Great Smoky Mountains National Park Review

My family and I live 2 hours from the Smokies but love to get away once or twice a year to spend a few days in the Smokies.  It is so nice to get a cabin or even a hotel in the middle of the action.  There is an endless supply of things to do and see.  It's nice being close and being able to go try different things throughout the year.  But, if you are traveling from far away and want to make the most of a few days you should definately use a day to go to the Aquarium, shop the outlet malls, eat dinner at Dixie Stampede (wonderful food and great entertainment for the whole family).  If you like amusement parks definately go to Dollywood.  Ride the skytram in Gatlinburg up to Ober Gatlingburg.  There are ton of things to do there including Ice Skating.  And use a day to go to Clingman's Dome and take in the scenery.  It's nice to just walk through Gatlingburg and go in all the shops.  You will not get bored here!!  There is something for everyone!
