Whether it's a trip to the city or into the wilderness you don't have to travel far from Knoxville to find it! Come explore the region (and beyond) with me, because no matter what day it is, it's always "trip time."
All in Natural Wonders
Tennessee's highest peak lies deep inside the Great Smoky Mountains, the nation's most visited National Park. From the observation deck at Clingman's Dome you get a real sense of the beauty throughout East Tennessee (and Western North Carolina). While more than 9-million people come to the Smokies each year, it's one of a handful of national parks all within a couple hours drive of Knoxville.
Cumberland Falls near Corbin, KY is often called the Niagara of the South. It is the only waterfall in North America where you can witness a "moonbow" when conditions are right. The park around the waterfall offers plenty of activities and accomodations for a great weekend getaway.
