Top 20

Every family needs a vacation. Things can get very hectic around school, work and little league. There are many places to choose from and you, as the vacationer, get the fun of deciding where to go. Two of the most popular vacation spots are the mountains and the beach. We have spent some time researching the 20 most popular reasons why you should come to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge TN as opposed to vacationing at beach.

  1. You get a view of more than just water. Yeah, water can be cool. However, have you ever woke up early to watch the sunrise over the mountains.
