Awesome, thanks a bunch J, perfect info I was looking for. Looks like Climb Works it will be, I'll trust the reviews. Granted I'm sure both are great but I'm going to show my wife Climb Works.

I look forward to researching these places in the next day or so.
Dollywood is worth going to even if you've been to other amusement parks. Their roller coaster collection is extremely good and they just opened a new one last week.

If you're a child of the 80's a trip to Cooters place is needed.

So far we have

Smokey Mt. Outdoors - Upper River rafting http://www.smokymountainrafting.com/...er-rafting.php

Smokey Mt Ziplines
http://www.smokymountainziplines.com/

Sugarlands Distillery Tour - http://www.sugarlandsdistilling.com/...premium-tours/

Smokey Waterfall Adventure - https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUser...Tennessee.html

Plus we have several restaurants we plan on hitting. I'm trying to find a ATV rental place which we can take 4 wheelers up and around mt. trails.

Sooooooo I need to add more stuff to fill the time

Re: Gatlinburg Tennessee Trip: Suggestions

Went there this spring with a few of my buddies and it was a pretty great time. In addition to Sugarlands, Old Smokey Distillery is worth checking out as well. BUT, definitely check out the National Parks around there. There is some fantastic hiking out there and tons of cool views. Overall, it's a beautiful place to visit. Have fun!

Re: Gatlinburg Tennessee Trip: Suggestions

Make sure you take a drive up to Clingman's Dome (highest peak in the park). The views are pretty good (for the most part, you also get to see what acid rain will do to a forest).

Can also drive over into Cherokee, NC. There's a casino over there that sort of reminds you of that episode of South Park about Indian casinos.

Re: Gatlinburg Tennessee Trip: Suggestions

If you're interested in any hiking whatsoever, I'd highly recommend Mt. LeConte at Smoky. I believe there's an option of hiking up to Alum Cave, which is quite manageable, or heading all the way to the top, where there's a cabin with food and water. Outstanding views no matter how far up you go.



Also, a little bit of extra driving, but Blue Ridge Parkway is top notch. Probably at its best in the fall, but I reckon still gorgeous this time of year (the trees were still mostly leaf-less when we went through.

Nice,

Now being from Louisiana, everything is flat here. Any tips on driving in the mountains? I don't want to fry my brakes or anything else.

Use a different gear 1 or 2, don't press on the breaks the whole time. If you don't ride the breaks and don't use the gas when going down you won't have any issues.
