Some call this US city “the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This city is a great place to visit any time of the year. Visit here in winter and take a frosty, refreshing hike through the park here. Hit the slopes at Ober Gatlinburg, and do some snowboarding and skiing there. Take a ride on one of the local alpine coasters too, Stay at The Park Vista or Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Spa for some great rates.
