Planning to visit Laurel Falls inside the Smoky Mountains National Park? You're going to need to make a parking reservation thanks to a new pilot program aimed at improving visitor safety.
I think I found out why Gatlinburg has so many pancake restaurants, but it's just a theory. I will say that one explanation makes perfect sense and I'm running with it.
With Lights Over Gatlinburg open through January 31st and, perhaps, a smaller crowd since we're just past the holidays, maybe a quick trip to the Smokies is in order.
