Trips to Gatlinburg are never NOT fun. Even if you ve extensively toured the admittedly small downtown area multiple times, it s always worth going back to see what s new.
As for me and mine? When we go to Gatlinburg, we like to explore the mountains, including, of course, Clingman s Dome, the highest point in Tennessee. Now, I haven t been to the top of Clingman s Dome; I don t have the knees for it. But I ve been close and it s always so weird to be at the FOOT of that final steep incline to the top and see all those dead trees and hardly any sound at all. Even the birds don t get up that far, I guess.
