    Me and my husband just got home about 2 hours ago from a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg Tennessee and yes it was packed! Our very first trip there it was the fourth of July and it was busy but not as busy as this weekend was. We still had a good time but was very disappointed when we couldn't find a parking space to hike the rainbow falls trail 😢 I wish I knew when the best time to come to Gatlinburg when it's not super packed but not winter either.

      @Mustang5458 Před 9 měsíci

      Hubby and i went the week before memorial day. Nice and quiet. Hotel room was cheap. Restaurants had plenty of seating..Trails was not crowded. Got to hike some, shop some and enjoyed the Smokies.

    • @SmokyMountainFamily
      @SmokyMountainFamily  Před 9 měsíci

      Yeah, holiday weekends certainly aren't the time to beat the crowds here. Actually late September and early October is a great time to come and not find the crowds. Before Memorial Day as well. The parking passes and reduced parking has made it more challenging to do popular Ikes. Recommend getting to the trailhead as early as possible to get a spot. Hope you guys can make it down soon at a time where fewer people are visiting! Thanks so much for watching!

    @bubbascruise Před 9 měsíci

    I Almost always skip going to the area during the holiday weekends more because the more expensive hotels then the crowds. The large crowds on those weekends you just have to plan for it and know it’s coming and do things like eat at odd times and places a bit off the main road.
