Hike to Chimney Top - Great Smokies

#passionpassport Smokies have many trails and hikes. One of the famous trail is Chimney Top. It’s beautiful and as it’s hill top it has best babies. But due to fire sone years ago Trail has be restricted to 2/3 of the actual trail length. Trail has mainly stairs and it goes around the water stream so you will see many waterfalls along the trail. It gets tougher when hiking last stretch of the trail. Trails passes inside the forest so looks very calming and relaxing. Take lot of water and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Once on top view is nice. It’s restricted but still nice. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration

Roaring Fork Motor Natural Trail

Its name derived from a “roaring” mountain stream, the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail twists and turns for six miles, forming a one-way looping scenic drive through the Great Smoky Mountains. The narrow roadway only allows cars—trucks, trailers. Unfortunately, RVs cannot fit on this road. Drive along the road and immerse yourself in the mossy green rocks and boulders as you gaze at the water rushing through the mountains. There are multiple small long trails can be taken in between along the River stream. Each turn gives a beautiful scenery and view. Water streams sound and trees sound makes it amazing sound and it gives calm and beautiful experience. There are many locations where one can stop on the way and enjoy the nature. See water stream, greenery and some wild life. #usa #travel #beautiful

Beautiful scenery!

Have to check out this beautiful drive through The Great Smokey Mountains! Especially during fall when the leaves are changing and converting the ground. There are a couple pull-off spots with amazing views, and some with old cabins you can walk through. Nice way to spend the evening. I was surprised at how busy it was on a Thursday though. Other than that, we had a blast.

Dollywood Snowpark

We own a handyman business and a customer needed some work done on her home but she was staying out of state with her sick brother and needed to get the money to us for supplies. So we decided to make a short vacation and stay at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee 4 hours from where we live. We have been here before but we had a great time. There is so much to do here and not enough time to do it all.

The Great Smokie Mountains

Country Roads, Take Me Home Birthplace of the Queen of country music Miss Dolly Parton, this trip to the Smokie Mountains was an absolute dream come true. Not only am I a fan of Dolly and country music. But I am also a lover of the outdoors and hiking for which the Smokies have a lot of great trails to pick from. The most famous trail through this area is the small portion of the Appalachian Trail that crosses through the mountains. I didn't know a lot about it before visiting the Smokies expect that it was the longest continuous trail in the USA and I had always been intrigued by the name. I still can't say I know very much about the history of the trail but like so many pioneers that traversed the numerous trails across North America the ones following the Appalachian Trail faced many dangers and extremes. It is mind-blowing what they had to endure. Today there are all kinds of walking trails and we took a few of the easier ones on this trip. Bet every single one was enjoyable. There is a lot to see and do in the towns surrounding this area. We loved The Island at Pigeon Forge and the Old Mill. The town of Gatlinburg is fantastic as well. Some kitschy little shops and great dining options. We also stumbled upon a Salt and Pepper Shaker museum which was another highlight of this trip. And of course no trip to the Smokies is complete without a stop at Dollywood. #gooutside
