Campground close to the heart of Pigeon Forge. We looked around Pigeon Forge, known for Dollywood, Dolly Pardon's mini Disneyland and a host of other attractions. We then took Rt. 441 to Gatlinburg. I think we like Gatlinburg better since it looks like a rustic, German town and all the shops were accessible by walking down any of the main streets.
We thought it would be cool to take the tram up to the top of the mountain so we boarded the tram called Ober Gatlinburg, meaning Over Gatlinburg! It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the mid 70's. The line waiting for the gondola was very long and we waited quite a while for our turn to board the tram. On top of the mountain were a variety of activities from an indoor ice skating rink to go-carts to a second chair lift going further up the mountain. Quite an impressive complex!
Peg did an on camera interview with Jim Davis from the tourism bureau for our American RVer show. He told us about the area and some of the things to see and do.
We liked to wander around the town which was decorated for the Christmas season already. They had a trolley tour of the Christmas lights which we took one rainy night. Good thing it was enclosed. Tomorrow we head for the Great Smoky Mountain National Park....
