Man, this got me so stoked for my trip here next week! Thanks Randy for generating such awesome and thorough content. Masterfully done!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thank you Brad and Melinda, yea I envy you... I'll be in hot Tampa editing.

[@alfonsobetancur3989]

Excellent promotion on this video, I highly recommend Gutlimburg, Smokies mountains and Sevierville for the family vacations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep great family destinations

[@seanlaramie7973]

My girlfriend and I just stayed for the first time in Sevierville and your video was spot on! We got the smoke in our eyes! We love your content!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thank you Sean that's great to hear, thanks the the comment 👍

[@allme7425]

Just wonderful! The Lord created such beauty to soak in-thank you Mike and Jana, TX

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Amen!

[@JoseJDeJesus-xt6bp]

My first visit in the Smoky Mountains was 2006, forever my best vacation spot!

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

This was a great trip. I felt as if I was right there. You are such a great guide. Bella loved it too. She is loved by everyone. Thank you Randy for bringing it to us.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thank you Rephael, I appreciate that

[@yellowstonewild]

My family and I have been to Gatlinburg about 3 times and plan to go a 4th this fall. We had no idea how much we truly missed by not venturing off of the main strip. 💚 Your past 3 smokey mountain videos have been incredibly helpful!!!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep soo much there...spent 17 days filming and even that is not enough

[@JoseJDeJesus-xt6bp]

Beautiful Mountains!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

They are!

[@Weve47]

Love this video and all of your videos! Amazing and informative content. And the dog 🐶❤…

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thank you for the feedback

[@NurseyPooh]

Love it there. I used to go to Gatlinburg every Christmas and bring my young daughter. Now an adult we will have to go again with my grandson! I go camp solo in the area.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep it has a great atmosphere

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

best move we ever made was from Tampa to East Tennessee and then Sevier county, and I did not realize those ATV rentals things were $540 that is crazy, started watching you years ago, don't comment much, I usually watch videos like this on TV and I agree The Smoky Mountain Family are great folks, we always have big smiles for each other when we run into them

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Good to hear from some from Tampa. Yea I've considered that move too, but interest rates are so high right now would be rough

[@elwingjr]

I will be visiting the Smokies for the first time next month for my 45th. Your videos are awesome, exciting and inspirational. Thank you

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou, that is a great time to visit, crowds ease up a little and temp little cooler

[@danroydsbarbadostravelvlog3057]

Here watching & supporting from Barbados🇧🇧

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Great to here from Barbados, blessings to you

[@joebinienda5283]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@benjaminwagner8141]

Love these videos. Always learn so much

[@alh9338]

Cades cove looks different. Haven't been there in some time but no biggie. The woods look just like I remember it! Just my favorite place on earth so thanks for sharing 🍻

[@TampaAerialMedia]

You are welcome, thanks for commenting

[@Sarae89]

Great video! Can’t wait to go back. So much to see and do

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou.. yep very true, did 3 videos and still so much more I could have covered

[@thomasmaner5652]

I’m really enjoying the videos in this series man! I’m not a religious person but maybe it is Devine intervention that your posting this just as I decided to take my Wife form St. Louis to the smokies to show her where I grew up taking vacations with my family. Thanks man, you’ve made me home sick. Also I remember that restaurant by the water falls you said closed. How the heck did they think not welcoming people wearing American flag merchandise would stay in by in East Tennessee? Lol

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Great to hear, yea as far as Friend Falls, true about Eastern TN, that is just business suicide to ask people with patriotic gear to leave.

[@thomasmaner5652]

@@TampaAerialMedia If I remember correctly back in the day my family was going to go in and have lunch there one day and we got asked to leave because I had on a old navy shirt that had a American flag on it.

[@JoseJDeJesus-xt6bp]

Hi!! thanks for the videos, the next week I visit the The Great Smoky Mountains .. the Mountains are calling!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou Jose, hope you have a great time, I think these last 3 videos will really help your planning

[@ipungpurbousa9267]

Love this place

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Me too

[@fadevsanjudo1222]

Great video, as always. I love this channel! I live in Florida and have been to Gatlinburg 4 times; there is something there that wants you to come back again and again and again. I think like Great Smoky Mountains Family, someday I will live there by the mountains ⛰️ Thank you, TampaAerialMedia, for such a fantastic job!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep I agree, many people from FL are moving to TN

[@derekk6906]

Great work, you do such quality videos it is one of our favorite channels. Heads up, unless I misunderstood it sounds like you said The parking pass is $5 a day $50 a week. The parking pass is actually $5 a day $15 a week $40 a year. My apologies if I misunderstood you. Thanks again for the great informative videos.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thank you yea I said 15 but yea sounds like 50, I should have put a graphic up

[@mariadelcmontalvo6116]

Other great and well explained video. Beautiful place ❤

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thank you Maria

[@bevkern3858]

Amen been there all my life . But from Indiana ❤

[@stevenlopez2521]

My wife and family love Gatlinburg and surrounding areas. You do a great job at capturing everything. Your drone footage is incredible. Great work! I like to collabs with SMF as well. They’re great people.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yes they are great people. They will also be in our Cherokee Bryson City video to premiere Sunday at 7:15

[@stevenlopez2521]

@@TampaAerialMedia oh awesome! W will be looking forward to it!

[@vegasstoker9647]

We did the Smoky Mountain White Water Rafting. I fell out and another raft had to pick me up. Fun memories.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Wow, yea that must have been a little scary

[@vegasstoker9647]

@@TampaAerialMedia The guide ran us into the beam on the bridge. I never saw it coming. Good times.

[@stanr9397]

I want to move there sooooo bad!!!!!

[@RobinsCollectableDolls]

Great video. I subscribed

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Great to hear, thankyou Robin Welcome

[@alh9338]

Not sure how it's spelled but the Nantahala is another one to consider. It's close to the KOA and depending how far down you go it can get up to a class 4 rapids. It's a blast going over the falls! Florida peeps might want to be a wetsuit because its cold 😅

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep, we will show the Nantahela in our next video

[@morob1181]

thanks for this! you have videos for all of the places we want to go next month, pigeon forge & gatlinburg, Branson, Gulf shores Al, Nashville too. long trip from west palm florida. any suggestions for a family of 5 any reason to drop any of these locations? 2 weeks of time to spare. I've also seen your video on Destin looks amazing!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Those are all great, I would allow the most time for Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, there's so much to do and time will go fast, but yea check out Downtown Flavortown and West By Gods Pizza for food in PF

[@kbs3366]

Great video Brother, when are you going back in the Fall? We will be there the last week of Sept. God bless, Semper Fi

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Don't know yet, will be based on weather and Univ of TN home games, but probably last 2 weeks of October.

[@benjaminwagner8141]

Have you ever checked out Black Mountain in Asheville?

[@TampaAerialMedia]

No but maybe will do that next year, want to do more of the North Carolina side

[@SuperTamig]

Who is narrating this sounds so weird
