Exploring the Great Outdoors
Spring is one of the best times of the year to be outside! Average spring temperatures tend to be cooler in the mornings and evenings, and pleasant throughout the day. That means you can enjoy some of your favorite outdoor activities without being too hot or too cold. When it comes to spending time outside, we recommend dressing in layers wherever you go to guarantee you’re comfortable. Some of the most popular outdoor adventures during the spring are hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, zip lining, and white water rafting. We recommend going for a hike that offers beautiful views and the opportunity to see wildlife! Depending on the time you visit and trail you hike, you may get to see cascading waterfalls, black bears, white-tailed deer, gorgeous waterfalls, and more. Popular spring hiking trails in the Smoky Mountains are Porters Creek Trail, Andrews Bald, and Alum Cave Trail.
Enjoying Our Pigeon Forge Show
