The Smoky Mountains are definitely a US destination that everyone should visit and I've always wanted to go in the spring, when the mountains are full of blooming flowers, flowing white water, and green grass covering the rolling hills. Gatlinburg is nestled right on the edge of the Smoky Mountain National Park and would be a perfect outlet into the wilderness.
According to the Gatlinburg Visitor Center, travelers are able to horseback ride, witewater raft, hike, cycle through the mountains, camp, fish, or even golf.
Along with The Smoky Mountain National Park I would love to visit the Parkway, which is one of the main streets in Gaitlinburg and home to the space needle, which is 342 feet in the air and provides amazing views of the landscape and mountain peaks.
In the morning, I'd love the chance to eat at Tennessee's firs pancake house--The Pancake Panty for some home-cooked breakfast and short stacks with a side of Tennessee blueberries. And I likely wouldn't leave town before stopping at a little sweets cafe called Desserts & More. According to The New York Times, "for 11 years, Ruth and Gerry Childress have been making everything on the menu, from thick chicken-salad sandwiches to fluffy coconut pie and creamy chocolate-chip cheesecake, from scratch. Homemade lemonade and different flavored iced teas (if you're lucky, there'll be mango) come by the carafe."
