Gatlinburg Tennessee Proves More Interesting Than Expected in the Winter

A recent trip to the Smoky Mountains for a little rest and relaxation proved more exciting than we had expected. All things considering, it was winter, and there was plenty of snow and ice on the ground. It was December and we left home in Pennsylvania to get a little break from the snowy weather that had been engulfing our area since late November. Colder than normal temperatures were also gripping our region so it seemed like a good time to head south. Eastern Tennessee was the destination we chose. The Smoky mountains region of the state boasts beautiful mountainous scenery and plenty of activities during summer months. The off-season however, seemed as though it would be a relaxing atmosphere with warmer temperatures to go along with it.
