Great Smoky Mountains
We spent a fun and relaxing vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. For the first few days we stayed in Gatlinburg at the Glenstone Lodge. Gatlinburg is situated on the edge of the National Park, squeezed in a tiny valley, and has been a tourist destination for many years. It was our first visit. The town itself is quite small, and businesses are packed onto the main Parkway and a few side streets. Walking is the expected mode of transportation, so pedestrian traffic always has the right of way.
