5 days in Gatlinburg Itinerary

Nestled in the lush, wooded forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is Tennessee’s premier mountain resort destination.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at The Village Shops and Mysterious Mansion. There's lots more to do: find something for the whole family at Rowdy Bear Mountain, hike along Gatlinburg Trail, steep yourself in history at Historic Ogle Log Cabin, and look for gifts at NOC Gatlinburg.

For traveler tips, photos, more things to do, and tourist information, refer to the Gatlinburg trip planner.

In August, daily temperatures in Gatlinburg can reach 87°F, while at night they dip to 68°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 26th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
