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 Alewine Pottery. There's still lots to do: get in on the family fun at Rowdy Bear Mountain, trek along Gatlinburg Trail, get a taste of the local shopping with Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum, and get your game on at Mysterious Mansion.

To find reviews, maps, where to stay, and other tourist information, go to the Gatlinburg trip itinerary planning tool.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 87°F, and evening lows to 68°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 26th (Mon) to allow enough time to travel back home.
