Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg, however you want it.

Welcome to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, where the majestic Smoky Mountains meet the pristine haze of a new year. The ancient hills and mountaintops extend high into the sky, seemingly scraping across the horizon of delicate clouds and golden sunlight. The Harwood canopies stand like paintbrushes, soaking in the colors of the season as bubbling creeks and streams serenade the ambiance of nature trails and wildflowers. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tennessee, have a rich history that dates back to the Cherokee, who traversed across the valley to use it as a hunting ground. Their path became known as the “Indian Gap Trail,” and it extended from the Smoky Mountains to North Carolina. Settlers slowly made their way into the area, and Pigeon Forge found its identity shifting from farming to that of tourism as myriads of visitors came to see the Great Smoky Mountains. Today, millions of people vacation in Pigeon Forge for not only its natural bliss but also for its plethora of entertainment venues. Gatlinburg, the gateway to the Smokies, is a must-visit for families, couples, and friends.
