Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg

[GA girl]

There is also the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad where you can take a train ride thru the mountains. It takes a couple of hours but it was very relaxing. It takes you thru tunnels and along the river.

Oh, Man. That bring back memories!

When I got married 20 years ago, my wife and I lived in Ft Campbell, Ky. Her grandma lived in Peterstown, WV. We made the trip a lot.

It is a beautiful part of America.

We used to take our neice to the following:

Rock City - can you make it through Fat Man's Squeeze or look over Lover's Leep?

Raccoon Mountain (the Alpine Slide is awesome- it a half mile cement bob-sled run)
The Incline Railway - I hope you are not afraid of heights

Ruby Falls- ever see an underground waterfall?

I live in and was born right nearby in Knoxville so I've been to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area many, many times. I can't tell you much about condos there to rent - never stayed in one, but I know there are a lot. My favorite hotel is the Clarion Inn Gatlinburg and favorite cabins are at Gatlinburg Falls Resort. Some of my favorite things to do:

Dollywood
Dollywood Splash Country
Ripley's Aquarium
Ripley's Haunted Adventure
The Park Grill Gatlinburg
Cherokee Grill Gatlinburg
The Peddler Gatlinburg
The Apple Barn Sevierville
Minature Golf (everywhere, esp. Ripley's)

Sugarlands Visitor's Center
Hiking (in the Park in general)

Shopping along the Gatlinburg main street
