Wow, where to even begin listing the overwhelming amount of attractions we have in the Tennessee Smokies? Well, Dollywood would be the obvious choice… or possibly the Great Smoky Mountains National Park itself as those are the two big things that come to mind when thinking of Sevier County, but from there we have many, many, many attractions to choose from for when the trip continues after, or for when opportunity for Dollywood and the GSMNP closes.
Then where do you begin?
