The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is hands down the most beautiful place to drive through in Tennessee – pretty much ever. It’s in the winter, though, that we’re truly afforded a beautiful view of the mountainous vistas and snowcapped mountains. East Tennessee is truly a great study in beauty.
Ernest Duffoo - Flickr The Great Smoky Mountains offers unique views and beautiful vistas for the weary traveller. As one of the most visited national parks - THE most visited, excuse us - there’s quite a bit to live up to.
Jade Leetz - Flickr There are multiple roadways running through and around the park, pulling together a couple hundred miles of roadway.
Greg Holtfreter - Flickr This is truly a place where you can get lost and not care one single bit. Why would you, if you had a view like this around every bend?
Jason AG - Flickr There are also opportunities for hiking and camping - Cades Cove is open year-round - but you’ll want to check local weather and safety ratings before you head out on your trip.
Judy Baxter - Flickr Trees that were once so colorful with the vibrant heartbeat of autumn quell a bit, and it’s here that we’re able to see the husks of the trees.
Jason Hollinger - Flickr Husk is a strong word - trees simply shed their leaves for the weight and beauty of snow. We’d say it’s a solid trade, wouldn’t you?
Scott Kinmartin - Flickr This stunning shot of a bare tree against the bitter cold of the landscape has a certain chilly beauty to it. A loveliness to the craggy arch of its branches.
Ernest Duffoo - Flickr The Great Smokey Mountain National Park has etched a webbing of roadways through the whole of it, just for you. Take a hike, find a waterfall. Dress warm or grab some hot cocoa and jump in the car. We’ll forever be in love with our sweet East Tennessee home.
Have you made the drive, or are you planning to? We’d definitely recommend the wintry adventure – if you can’t already tell.Check out this unique Tennessee park, too – can you find a favorite?
