Of course, Gatlinburg isn’t all about museums and tourist activities. You can enjoy some of the beauty of nature here as well, particularly at Roaring Fork. We found this drive to be just as beautiful, if not more so, than what you see at Cades Cove but with far less tourists.
Here’s a water mill you can see along the way.
Here is one of the mountain views we saw along the way. There are a number of places to pull off and take in the sites.
Here’s another mountain view – I guess the thin mountain air brought out the love and affection in the two oldest boys!
There are several small waterfalls that you can enjoy as you drive and pull off to check out more closely. This is just one of them.
