My Smoky Mountain Family Vacation

by Jennifer
(TN)

Our quest for a Smoky Mountain family vacation took us to the beautiful Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s near Gatlinburg, TN and this turned out to be a great family summer vacation trip. The park's admission is free, so you're welcome to drive through, or stop and camp inside the park while backpacking or at a campground. This was a big thing for us because we really needed to find cheap vacation ideas. The campgrounds were welcoming to families and pets, and had many activities nearby for us to do. Some of the hiking trails were paved, leading to beautiful views the mountains. There were also more than enough pull outs on the road to stop and take pictures of the sprawling mountains. Wildlife could also be seen from the car while we were driving, such as deer and a black bear with her three cubs. I'm sure the trees colors would be amazing during the fall, and would love to go back at that time. For our family, this Smoky Mountain family vacation is now our best summer vacation spot.
