Negative attitude.

Great video!

😊

Thank you for this. We will be there 1 week of December so this will help us plan.

My mother had a lot of kitschy salt and pepper shakers.

We have had very good luck recently spotting bears on Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. I think often people wait for a Bear Jam to look for them like in Cades Cove. We have spotted them down below on some of the steep drop offs, up in the trees and a week ago we had a male walk across the road in front of us just past the Ogle place. Early morning before it gets too busy gives us the best luck.

choose a motel that has dedicated numbered parkiing spaces for you. so you can come and go as you want at all hours

Great video. Will be driving this route next week.

Another fantastically helpful and informative video, thank you, not sure I'm brave enough for the Elvis burger that's for sure!!! Local Goat is definitley on our list of places to eat when we visit next year, I think we'll try to make a reservation though!

This is a great, clear, relaxing, beautiful video with very helpful information throughout. I am shocked that there aren't more views and comments. Great job! 👍 Thank you for sharing this video. 🐻

Wonderful video! 😊

Been on this road many times, never gets old; something about that clear stream water cutting its way thru the rocks & down the mountain☺️. Great job giving folks so much useful information, especially those that do not know the area, so they can get the most out of that time that goes by so quickly there☺️. Unlike down in town, other than gas these attractions cost a family nothing but a picnic lunch; so much for so little. 🫎

For those of us who just want to virtually take in this place we love, with as much useful information & fun facts available, your channel is a great option. I hope your channel grows to wherever you would like it to be🙏🏻. The # of Smoky Mountain TH-camrs seems to be growing rapidly?! Some of them, to my eye, just want to exploit this wonderful place. They try & make little celebrities out of themselves by having their face in the camera much of the time. And then, some of them absolutely tarnish the integrity & image of The Smokies, exploiting the many good hearted tourists to pay for their lazy life on perpetual vacation!! We learned some hard lessons with the likes of them; that is why we are here☺️!! And don’t get me wrong, I think you should earn all the ad revenue your content can bring; & I like your content, much more, how it is done. And FYI, I believe TH-camrs, unable to film in the park, has been largely debunked by park personnel. That part of park code was mostly used, in ignorance, for big & controversial views??!! So, be well Bear Facts lady, we wish you the best🙏🏻☺️!!!

Just got back from my first cabin trip in Gatlinburg. First off, the roads leading up to the cabin were unexpected, and scary as f*ck! Not the roads leading in, but up to the cabin. Canceled anything I wanted to do at night for fear of driving back up to the place. Second, the cabin we rented was not as advertised and need serious work, so be careful when booking. Third, the area is nothing more than a tourist trap, so maybe find things to do on the outskirts or something. Bears are a pain in the ass, so don’t leave ANY food in your cars and LOCK the doors, they know how to open them. Very pretty in areas, but just wasn’t my cup of tea, I left nothing behind that I need to return for.

SkyFly. kinda short ride....but very FUN !

More great content, thank you as always. I think we'll use the trolly even though we will have a car, if for no other reason but a bit of free sight seeing!

This is VERY helpful...I was surprised by all the travel blogs not really mentioning the trolleys. I had heard about it from Everything Auto's vlog and now yours.

Turtle?

Can I use a cushy on the trolley? 🚎

I've been to the area once - in December 2024 - and had a car so I never used the Trolley. I'm going again this October, again with a car, but I might try the Trolley - I usually love this type of transportation. Your video is really helpful.

I know. I ride the bus basically everywhere here in NYLI!

Agree on the food, geez they got a million pancakes , burgers and pizza places, and coming from Chicago I was expecting Tennessee BBQ to be great but it was mid and I visited the hyped places.

You do a really good job of providing a lot of interesting information about your video subject; a refreshing change from a few channels who put their face in the screen; & reveal in their ramblings they have done very little research in their quest for celebrity status!! Hoping your channel continues to grow☺️. Suggestion, perhaps especially appropriate considering your channel’s title. There is an urgent need to inform & educate folks about the growing # of bear incidents in Gatlinburg. Things have escalated due to ignorance & exploitation. There are stories, & sub stories, regarding this issue of concern that need to be told constructively & are guaranteed to generate views because people are very interested. You would do that very well in contrast to those who have exploited the issue!! Best wishes to you🙏🏻!! 🫎

I came across this Mill on my way from Gatlinburg to Atlanta in December. Not worth a special trip, but well worth seeing if you're driving that route.

Thanks for letting us know. There were signs up that said $24.99 at one point, but we will take cheaper any day!!!

My 2024 souvenir cup was $15.99 for free refills all season. I think the $24.99 price you mentioned is for two cups, not one. All in all, for annual pass holders it’s a great deal.

When did the trolleys become free? Also, you can take the bypass to get to Pigeon Forge if you stay closer to the park side, and you don’t have to drive through downtown Gatlinburg.

I like going there but alitte pricey, but good food only negative I had was only 2 refills allowed

We love Dollywood’s Halloween LumiNights, we believe it is very well done!! Disney does things very well but, as you said, the costs have made it too expensive for many families. And Disney does not have The Great Smoky Mountains, the most visited National Park every year that brings 12 - 14 million folks there; many of which go to Dollywood. And the park cost folks no fee to enter the park. Coming back this fall to see the Halloween & Christmas in Dollywood; cannot wait☺️. 🫎

I have been to Disney (FL and CA) for Halloween and I've worked the Halloween event at Universal Hollywood for years. I'm visiting Dollywood for their Fall Festival for the first time this year. I'm disappointed Dollywood is closed on Halloween.

Nice video 😊😊

We are coming the first week of Dec and have booked The Tree Top Resort. Can you tell us about it. Great videos. Thank you.

Wow, thank you for sharing!

We love Park Grill. We had our wedding dinner there 5 years ago, Park Grill was fantastic for everyone, they had a table decorated for us and even brought a small wedding cake for us to enjoy after dinner. Wonderful

Being a biker or walker, parking may not be an issue. I’ll use the trolley if need be.

Well said!

The best way to view Gatlinburg is as one big state fair. The food is greasy and expensive, the crowds and lines are long, and the sanitation could be iffy, but if you want healthy foods to eat take the drive into the mountains with a picknick basket and enjoy the views and watch out for bears.

I lived in Michigan for 50 years. Up there out in the country, you cant avoid seeing deer on the back roads. Now I live in Oak Ridge and when I go to Cades Cove, I can't help but laugh at the vehicles I see with Michigan plates stopping to gaze at the deer like it's the first time they have ever seen one

No. Boudicas.

Take the bypass and go around, Catlinturd SUCKs

I always enjoy your fun videos and your bear buddy. This is an attraction I will not visit.

Thanks for telling us about 2 we are not familiar with. We love the diner, good breakfast & is somewhat out of the way of the big crowds. Works well on grocery day since it is right by Publix & Kroger☺️.

Another excellent video, I've loved all your content and they've been trully fantastic resource as I plan my trip from the UK over to the Smokey Mountains for next summer. Thank you :)

We'll be in TN in a few weeks and I really appreciate the information and tips. Thank you!

When driving the loop, if you want to stop and look at something, pull off the road!!! Do not block the road!!!!! It clearly states this rule on a sign at the entrance.

You are right, so many pancake & breakfast places to choose from. We had not heard anything about this place but, since we are here & it looked good, so going to try it Friday. Thanks for telling us about it☺️. 🫎

Always eat here at least once while in town

Skyland ranch is definitely the best th-cam.com/video/CBRaSpBzmGo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PJeEaZdnh0rmxgcN

I've seen a bunch of videos on this ride. Yours is a fun one. I'm staying across the street in October ('24) so I think I'll try it out.
