    Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is another beautiful drive out of Gatlinburg. Turn up the road beside of the Space Needle up the side of Mtn LeConte. It had hikes off of it+you can hike to top of the mtn. You might see the animals that trek up supplies for the Lodge up there. They take the supplies at the beginning of the season by helicopter. Really enjoyed your video, as I always do. Thank you.

    The Smoky Mountains are our Go to. We travel there about once per year. We haven't stayed where you are staying, but the one we stay at EVERY time is Honeysuckle Meadows in Wears Valley, just to your west about 5 miles. We love that place. Worth just driving out to take a look while y'all are there, if you still happen to be there

    • @chucktrisdale3539

      If you get a great clear day and want a driveable scenic view head up to clingmans dome and Newfound Gap. But its only worth it if a clear day. You have a million miles of great hikes right there. My favorite, well I have a few... but one of my favorites is Chimney Tops. Its just under 2 miles but it is a tough 2 miles ( I am 6'2 220 and 53 and made it fine), but its no joke. But the views are incredible. Oh and if they happen to have it blocked off bc of the fires a few years ago - just go around it. Everyone did when we were there last year. And while your there everyone has to do the ski lift in gatlinburg.

    Cades Cove is the best. We saw so many bears when we did the loop. Just remember to eat in “designated areas only”. If you eat at a turnout you will get a visitor who will want ALL YOUR FOOD! I’m not kidding. The bears can smell stupid tourists for miles and miles! 🐻

    We really enjoyed Cades Cove, saw several Deer , pointed them out and in true National Park style People headed off through the Poison Ivy in flip flops and shorts to see how close they could get, I kinda felt bad, but not really. Joy was really hoping to see a Bear too, apparently if we would have been 5 min earlier we would have seen one, but oh well. Im sure we will see some in Glacier this coming summer.

    We love the Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville area. We stayed at the resort when it was Eagle’s Nest campground, no WiFi and no Verizon cell service. We have been going to Pigeon Forge for 10 years and normally stay at least 2 weeks or more a year. We now stay at Riverside RV park in Sevierville, it’s close to I-40. Old Mill restaurant is a great place to eat breakfast

    Just found your channel and i SUBSCRIBED!!. We just bought a new Imagine, similar to yours. Also, we are Michigan natives now living in South Carolina and we LOVE the Smokies and Eastern Tennessee so much that we bought property there for retirement. We spent our honeymoon 32 years ago, tent camping in the National Park. If you would like to dry camp in the woods, try any of the camp grounds in the park. We really like Cades Cove and Elkmont campgrounds. Hiking, visiting town in the fall......EPIC!!

    Very cool, was just at cades cove about 2 months ago. The horseback ride tour on the cades cove loop and the nearby cave tour are both awesome. If you look at a cades cove map there is a old back road leading out of cades cove that was kind of hidden and had signs that it was unmaintained etc and was mostly gravel but was in good shape we got to see some bears and more wildlife leaving that way. Keep up the great videos!
