We enjoy finding the off the beaten path places to visit
This cave is one of the best I have seen.
There are a lot of steps and it hadn’t been updated in decades and that is part of the charm.
Tuckaleechee Caverns Townsend TN
Great food and coffee and so many souvenirs from the area to buy in the General Store
It also wasn’t as crowded as the General Store in the next town
Worth the drive
🍎 Apple Valley Mountain Village in Townsend, TN
A very nice Distillery.

This coaster went way farther up the mountain than we realized. It was so fun and the views were great
SMOKY MOUNTAIN ALPINE COASTER
You are near several entrances to the Smoky Mountain National Park. Make sure you check out one of the many waterfalls
Great Smoky Mountains National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
We ate here at this restaurant in Wears Valley and they had some of the best onion rings
We didn’t try the Sloppy Joe’s but they are their specialty
Sloppy Hog Burger Joint
If you are a history or aviation buff you must check out this museum.
It is in Sevierville which is just north of Pigeon Forge
Tennessee Museum Of Aviation – Where History Lives!
The property is beautiful, you wouldn’t believe you are so close to the hustle and bustle of the main highway. The gift store has so many cute things.
Try an apple hand pie and slushy
Applewood Farms
You don’t have to go to Texas to visit a Buc-ee’s. If you have never been to one (yes it is a gas station) you will want to drive 30 minutes north to visit the largest one
Go hungry and try a BBQ sandwich!
Locations - Buc-ees
Go visit here to find locally made items (not your typical souvenirs)
