The EAST Great Smoky Mountains Parkway runs from Interstate 40
Exit 435 (AND 432) through Cosby,
Pittman Center, and ends at downtown traffic light #3 in
Gatlinburg! This route is highly favored by most locals
(and more and more tourists), is much more scenic, AND it can
save HOURS of BUMPER TO BUMPER traffic, as you may have
PERSONALLY experienced at certain times of the year, coming into
Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park.
Whatever you do while you are here, MAKE SURE you visit the ARTS
& CRAFTS AREA during your visit!
UNBELIEVABLY....Eight out of 10 visitors to the Smokies do not
even know this area is here, and next to the Great Smoky
Mountains, this is the most unique, awesome, collection of
quaint, unbelievably talented artists, craftsmen, that have been
taught their skills generation after generation, and many of
these folks will be exhibiting their talents RIGHT BEFORE YOUR
EYES! We are working on putting a virtual tour together
through this area, more extensive, than any tour we have ever
built, and if you visit this area while you are here YOU WILL
SEE WHY!
There are
also many wonderful
shops, restaurants,
lodging
establishments, real
estate companies, and other things to do and see along this route, which will most
likely be the ONLY route you will use, (if you give it a try),
for all your future trips!
Take a tour through this exciting route, and check our some of
the fascinating shops, restaurants, etc., by clicking on the
hyperlinks to your LEFT, and see for yourself what you have been
missing!
