1. The Smokies: The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
There’s no better place to begin your Great Smoky Mountains National Park adventure than in the small town of Gatlinburg. From downtown Gatlinburg, you can easily drive to the park’s most popular areas, or simply jump on the chairlift and head for the hills at the Ober Gatlinburg, a ski resort and amusement park offering year-round activities.
2. Graceland and the Elvis Presley Memphis Complex
Undoubtedly the most famous rock ‘n’ roll residence in the world, Graceland Mansion remains a place of pilgrimage to fans from far and wide, and tours of this fine, stately home provide a unique glimpse into the King’s life (nothing has been changed since he passed away there in 1977).
