Go to Bennett's or Calhoun's if yall like ribs. The apple barn in Pigeon Forge, the outlet malls, the island, Smokey Mountain Knife works....all in Pigeon Forge.
Can't go to Gatlinburg without a Cades Cove visit. Make the loop at take food for a picnic if that's your thing. Lots of wildlife usually and the scenery is stunning.
If you like Horseback riding, you can also do that at Cade's cove....it's a pretty tame ride and the scenery is also pretty cool. Cherokee is also a pretty cool place if yall are going over the mountain.
