Tennessee

We have visited Tennessee several times and like some of the areas a lot.
Half of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park is located in Tennessee, Gatlinburg is a very popular tourist destination for people in the general area and of course Memphis is the former home of Elvis!

Highpoint of Tennessee

Hiking in the Smokey Mountains

Clingmans Dome is the highest point of this State, not much of a challenge, you can drive almost to the top...
The view from the observation tower is incredible if you are lucky enough to catch it on a sunny day.

We love hiking!

Great Smokey Mountain National Park

The Great Smokey Mountain National Park is one of our favorite places to go hiking in. It is green , wet, and full of wildlife, including bears.
There are beautiful waterfalls in many areas also.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful Nature, Great Family Destination
