Introduction

Though a small mountain town, Gatlinburg is bustling with Smoky Mountain admirers, vacationers, hikers, fishermen, skiers and naturalists, photography buffs as well as tourists of all types. The mix of these people adds to the unique fun atmosphere that is Gatlinburg.
Although many of the hotels, B&B's, motels, restaurants and shops in Gatlinburg are open all year around, most visitors choose to visit in the Fall when the colors of the trees in the mountains are changing. October is the absolute peak month of the Smokies experience. Summer is also a high crowd time in the Smoky Mountains due to the fact that schools let out for the summer and vacationers generally hit the highways. It is also quite hot and humid in the Smoky Mountains in the Summer. For these reasons, more and more people are beginning to realize that the Spring and even the Winter months are excellent times to enjoy Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

For the convenice of the Smoky Mountain visitor, there is a trolley which takes passengers around Gatlinburg and to places such as the Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood or the Gatlinburg golf.
