Gatlinburg is two trips in one walkable town: a Parkway of attractions, tasting rooms and pancake houses, pressed directly against Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This hub is the map — eight sampler films up top, then the full directory of Gatlinburg pages: the mountaintop parks, the downtown classics and the park’s great drives, waterfalls and summit trails, each built from real visitor videos watched and summarized.

The town anchors are the mountaintop parks — Anakeesta, SkyPark and Ober Mountain — plus the aquarium and the Parkway itself. The park anchors are the drives (Roaring Fork, Cades Cove, Newfound Gap, Little River Road) and the trails behind them, from the paved walk to Laurel Falls to the five routes up Mount LeConte. Plan the town and the park as one trip; that is what Gatlinburg is for. One honest directory note: the coaster at 306 Parkway has two pages here — Moonshine Mountain Coaster for its current era, Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster for its original one — because the name changed with ownership, and the films split by era.
