The Foothills Parkway

Lauded as one of the most beautiful drives in the United States, the Foothills Parkway winds its way across the foothills of the northern Great Smoky Mountains. The road runs for 72 miles along parts of the Little Tennessee River as well as through portions of Blount, Cocke, and Sevier counties, with numerous viewpoints over the Smokies themselves.

Cades Cove

Take a five-mile hike or drive up to Cades Cove, a lush valley with a few historical timber buildings leftover from its time as a residential mountain outpost. This protected valley is now a favorite spot for visitors hoping to spot grazing wildlife, gold and pink sunsets, or a sea of dancing fireflies during summer. The paved loop is closed for cyclists on Saturday and Wednesday mornings, and there are hikes to Abrams Falls. If you’d like a guided tour, both public and private options are available.

Gatlinburg

Gatlinburg is a mountain resort town nestled on the northern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains. It has an interactive pinball museum, a Space Needle with panoramic vistas from 400 feet in the air, and plenty of local distilleries, breweries, and wineries worth visiting.
