Roaring Fork drive in Gatlinburg is free and fun. You see bears, falls, History. We really enjoy it.

That's a good list. I've been coming to the area for years. There have been times when money was really tight but always managed to have plenty to do for the family.

[@denisebergeron10]

Heading that way in a week and a half. Looking forward to spending some time in the mountains! 😃👍

My favorite video is the Titanic. Congratulations on your 60k. I would love to see a video from you on your top 10 restaurants in pigeon Forge and your top 10 restaurants in Gatlinburg. I look forward to seeing your videos every day with your family. You have given me a lot of information for my upcoming trip next year.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Our pleasure Darrell! Tight lines! 🎣

[@champthacker826]

Totally enjoyed the videos, we've been 9 times in the past 4 years and I learned a few new places to go. I would definitely add maybe the drive through Newfound Gap Road, and while on that road you can go to Clingmans Dome (which is free) and/or through to Cherokee, NC and possibly see some Elk.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks...Great suggestions Champ!

[@itr0863]

New subscriber. Thank you so much for these videos. Will be driving from Florida to Gatlinburg in July to do the smoky mountains and Dollywood. I’ve been looking for some easy trails for my wife and 5 and 2yr old.

[@markmccarty9793]

Went there in July! Might as well go to Myrtle Beach, that crowded and commercialized! It a joke, yuppies everywhere, traffic horrible! Go 100 yards and stop for yuppies to cross to the next attaction!

[@ajudylee]

Great suggestions.. this is one of my favorite areas to visit..

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Glad to help ajudylee!

[@thecoolestdad]

Driving Roaring Fork Trail is a great excursion. We've driven it several times and love it.

[@drifthollow1525]

What do you see on this drive?

[@thecoolestdad]

@@drifthollow1525 There's a lot to see on this drive. First, you might see some black bears, but maybe not. This drive goes up into the mountains on the top end of Gatlinburg. There are several places to stop and walk around and see things. First is the Bud Ogle cabin. The Ogles being one of the founding families of Gatlinburg, you see Bud's place and walk the trail out back and see the creek with the water trough out there. As you drive further, you will go through areas where the trees are so massive in height. They create somewhat of a canopy up high. There are other homesteads to stop and walk around at, and places where you can get out and walk in the river on the rocks, and see a waterfall or two. Great picture taking on this drive. Near the end there used to be an old wooden building that had a general store in it. We bought a jar of pickled green beans, which are called "dilly beans". I'm not sure if it is still there and open or not. All in all, this is a gem of Gatlinburg, that most do not even know about. To enter this drive, go to the top end of Airport Rd and bare to the right. As the road splits stay right. The left split takes you up the hill to the Park Vista Hotel (the round hotel on the mountain), or whatever the name may be these days. Stay far right and enter the drive. It ends on the other side of Gatlinburg, can't exactly remember where. You won't regret making this drive.

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

Ohhh I love the idea of the Hillbilly Golf! Fun!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

It's a unique mini-golf experience, we are hoping to take our kiddos there soon!

I've seen the videos before on the stuff in downtown Gatlinburg, but I'd like to see those items listed specifically at all the things that are in downtown Gatlinburg, because there's a few attractions down there which are really quite neat, I like to see all those listed in greater detail.

Cute

[@tonyricketts5569]

Don’t go to the caverns if you aren’t in good health! Very challenging for my wife. It’s not an easy walk.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Correct, some of the caves can be challenging for some.

[@tishawolf7276]

Margaretta spa How much is it?

[@marandaswartz6650]

How long do you think it took to go through the Caverns?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Forbidden Caverns tour is about 1 hour long. Tuckaleechee Caverns seemed to be about 1.5 hours. It can depend on who is giving the tour, but I would say those are fair estimates Maranda.

[@moemurray5478]

Have Y'all seen SMOKY HOLLOW OUTDOOR RESORT in Sevierville TN

How about skylift Park, or anakeesta??

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Skylift & Anakeesta are great and we mention them in our TOP ten things to do video. We just didn't include them in the FREE or cheap video as with a large party tickets can add up for some people.

$17 for an adult sounds really expensive for a tram to me.

Inflation! 😩

Well it's $22 now so $17 seems cheap lol

Lol

Not if you stick on well known trails, you will be fine.

[@carolynjones5186]

Where's a good place to stay in the area?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Carolyn, we are working on a video of top places to stay in Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg. If budget wasn't an issue I would say Dollywood DreamMore Resort or The Wilderness Lodge would be my 2 favorite with kids!

[@travingalloverthemap8375]

No bears…….??????

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

That's part of the national park (roaring fork, cades cove, etc) 🐻👍

[@iristina8107]

Tuckaleechee Caverns should be removed from your list. At $22 per adult, this is NOT cheap (as you would say; I would use "inexpensive," IF it qualified). Regardless, it does not qualify as inexpensive or affordable--so, please remove it.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Dollywood is $89, Anakeesta & SkyLift are $35+. This made the the list @ $22 as it is a great experience we have really enjoyed.
