The Gatlinburg resort town is an access point to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a must-visit place for most Americans. Other attractions that Gatlinburg offers include chair lifts to scenic overlooks, various fun activities found in many tourist areas, and great cuisine such as The Peddler Steak House, next to the Bearskin Lodge on the River, where Joyce and Michelle stayed. The Historic Arts & Crafts Trail, meanwhile, is for people who love to buy souvenirs that are beautifully made by the town's traditional craftsmen.
