Bordered by the dramatic natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge is a site to behold. Pigeon Forge, Tennessee was a quiet little mountain town until the opening of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 1934. Now it’s one of the country's most convenient vacation spots with some 10 million visitors each year. And talk about a perfect spot, it’s only a one-day drive for over half of the U.S. population.

 

Gatlinburg is a city in Sevier County, Tennessee, with a total population of 3,828, as of the 2000 U.S. census. The city is a popular vacation resort, as it rests on the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park along U.S. Highway 441, which connects Gatlinburg to Cherokee, North Carolina through the national park. No wonder Gatlinburg is nicknamed “Gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains.”

 

Sevierville is situated in an area where the Foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains give way to the Tennessee Valley, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park is located approximately ten miles south of Sevierville.
