Maybe your beach is too crowded now that it\u2019s open or maybe it\u2019s not open at all. Maybe you\u2019re just sick of sunburns, done with jellyfish stings, and over sand in every crack and crevice. Either way, we say break up with the beach and make the mountains your new summer go-to. And we have 5 great reasons why YOU should.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swap Crowded Beaches for Peaceful Peaks. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Great Smoky Mountains, it\u2019s easy to enjoy some peace and time to yourself. Instead of spending your summer vacation packed onto a crowded beach, head to the mountains for a breath of fresh air. Spend days hiking along the miles of trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park \u2013 where you can easily keep your distance from others \u2013 biking, fishing, and taking scenic drives. At the cabin, play games in your rec room, have movie night in your own theater room, splash around in a private indoor pool, make s\u2019mores around a firepit, and relax in rocking chairs or a hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountains!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>100% Sand-FREE Guarantee. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sick of sand in every corner of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">everything <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when you go to the beach?
