Gatlinburg named best place to visit for fall 2023 by USA Today While it may be unsurprising to East Tennesseans, USA Today has named Gatlinburg the best place in the country to visit this fall.

Beautiful in the fall - and year round, in my opinion!

Gatlinburg nominated as ‘Best Place to Visit for Fall’ by USA Today The city is up for a USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Place to Visit for Fall.”

Enjoy the sunset from our hot tub!

Sunsets in the Smokies don't disappoint! Caught this one a little early. Watch the sun go down from the hot tub!

Enjoy a moonshine tasting while you're visiting!

It's so peaceful watching the sun set on the mountains!

The hike to Rainbow Falls is one of our favorites! It's a 5.4 mile round trip. The 80 ft waterfall is absolutely spectacular and is the tallest single-drop waterfall in the Smoky Mountain National Park. It's a great place for a picnic! The trail is rocky and uneven in many places so make sure you wear good hiking shoes. Bears are sometimes active in this area and we did once see a mama bear with cubs on this hike. If you see bears, it's important to give them their space.

It's estimated that there are about 1900 black bears living in the Smoky Mountain National Park. You may very well see one on your visit. It is important if you see a bear that you give it space...do not approach the bear. Do not leave food in your car and make sure all doors are locked. Bears have been known to open car doors! This site has great information on what to do if you come across a bear. The bear in this picture we saw on the side of the road as we were driving to town.

The Chimney Tops trail is one of our favorites to hike. It's about 4 miles round trip and is steep with spectacular views. It was closed for about a year after the big fire in 2016. The summit of the trail was still closed the last time we hiked it, due to the damage done by the fire. But the views at the new overlook are still gorgeous. You can learn more about what happened in the fire here -> https://www.thesmokies.com/chimney-tops-trail/
