See our Room at Gatlinburg Town Square
Check out our room at Gatlinburg Town Square in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We vacationed here in March for our anniversary and ran into a lot of unexpected snow. It was fun, cold, and our resort had a cozy fireplace and everything we could want in our little home for a few days while visiting the Smokey Mountains.
This is just a quick view of our 1 bedroom resort room. The indoor pool was under renovations from the Gatlinburg fire that happened not long ago, and the outdoor one was just too cold and snowy for us to want to attempt this visit. We didn’t see any bears, though if you are visiting in the summer you will probably see some (hopefully from a distance).
If you want to stay here, we definitely suggest it. It is a beautiful resort with very friendly staff. It also has free parking and is close enough to walk to the Gatlinburg strip and do some shopping and eat at great restaurants. Use our link below to save a lot of money on your trip here.

A Man Was Hiking in the Smoky Mountains When He Stumbled Across a Seriously Creepy Discovery
Jordan Liles has a passion for photography. His hero is a legendary filmmaker and actor, Sir Charlie Chaplin. Liles is a director himself, but he is most well known for his photographs of abandoned places. When it comes to abandoned locations in the United States, there are plenty of them. As America has evolved, many places didn't. Some places are left abandoned because they had prosperous beginnings only to fail. This has left these place abandoned and damaged.
Some places are left behind for more sinister reasons. One example is the Lake Shawnee Amusement Park located in West Virginia. It was built in the 1920s on the site of an ancient indigenous burial ground. Shortly after the amusement park opened, six people died. It is believed that it had something to do with spirits on the fairgrounds. After these deaths, the amusement park was left abandoned and in disrepair. Today, the only visitors of the site are people looking to get scared on Halloween.
Jordan stumbled upon one of his creepiest finds in 2013. The site is in Elkmont, Tennessee, which is hidden deep within the woodlands of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Jordan is a Memphis native, and he has been to the Smokies plenty of times. He lived in the area for 26 years and still visits the park often when he has time. It was during one of his hiking expeditions that he found something incredible. A man was hiking in the Smoky Mountains when he stumbled across a seriously creepy discovery.
During Jordan's trip, he went up an unnamed gravel road. At the end of the road, he found an abandoned neighborhood and a hotel. Some of the buildings were built over 100 years ago. One of the first structures that he came across was an abandoned cabin. It may have once been cozy, but today, it is an empty shell. When Jordan got closer to the cabin, he noticed that the windows were broken and the floorboards were pulled up. The cabin didn't look safe, so he didn't want to go inside. In his video, he is heard saying, I don't really think I want to go in there. It looks like the kitchen is on a slant which means that the property is not in good condition. From the outside, he could see decaying shelves and toppled containers all over the floor.
After leaving the cabin, Jordan continued to explore. He went through some nearby trees and down a set of stone steps. He saw another home. Inside, there was a washer and dryer that had turned upside down on the broken floorboards. It was difficult to tell how long it had been since anyone lived there. He was sure that the abandoned town had much more to see; he just needed to keep exploring.
As Jordan continued exploring, he found another house. This one had steps. It was missing many of its walls, and there was a screen installed to replace the missing planks. The screens were torn and tattered. The screen made it possible for him to get a good look inside. There was old furniture in the house along with broken fixtures. The walls were stripped down to the bare wood and loose planks. Any doors that were once in the home are not gone.
As Jordan walked down the gravel road, he came upon three more houses. It looked as though vandals had broken into one of the houses. There was a lock that had been smashed, leaving the doors wide open. This house wasn't in such disrepair that entering wouldn't be too dangerous. This home was in much better shape than the rest, and there will still blinds hanging from some of the windows. There was also a shower curtain hanging in the rust filled tub. The toilet had a matching seat cover. The bathroom was filthy, but it was in much better shape than the other houses in the ghost town.
Jordan came upon a large structure that he thought could have been a hotel. There was an enormous stone fireplace behind plenty of large windows. He assumed that it was a social area or the reception area. The stairs had collapsed so he couldn't go upstairs and check out the rooms.
Finally, when Jordan came upon a sign, he figured out what the town once was. It was once the Wonderland Club, which was a very prosperous vacation community. When it was built, the owner chose this site because it was close to a busy logging town. It was open to the public in 1912 and operated for seven years before private owners purchased the land and the structures. The idea was for a group of men from Knoxville, TN to create their own private venture. Unfortunately, the plans were rejected. Instead, they created an exclusive social club called The Wonderland Club. In 1925, the logging industry in the area died, and people couldn't afford to visit the Wonderland Club. Soon, the buildings fell into disrepair.
Jordan is shocked that he stumbled on an entire vacation property accidentally. Fortunately, he had his camera with him and was able to get some amazing shots. This is just one of America's many abandoned properties. If you look hard enough, you never know what you are going to find.

America's Rainforest - Great Smoky Mountains | Alum Cave Mt LeConte
Measured from it's immediate base, beginning in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Mt. LeConte rises more than 5,000 feet and is the highest summit in the eastern United States when measured this way. It is the 3rd highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when measured in sea level height, 6,593'.
Rain forests can be found on almost every continent in the world, but most people don't realize that there is a rainforest in The Great Smoky Mountains. This is a hike up Alum Cave trail, to the Alum Cave Bluffs, toward the summit of Mt. LeConte, and into the temperate rainforest of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster on-ride HD POV @60fps
Skip forward to 3:24 if you only want to watch the downhill portion of the ride..
At 2500 feet in length, this Wiegand alpine coaster is the shortest of the four alpine coasters in the area but still a very fun ride and well worth trying out. This video was filmed at full speed throughout the ride.
The Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster is located near Pigeon Forge in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Also called mountain coasters, these gravity-operated rides installed on a hill or mountain utilizes a track made of stainless steel tubes. The sleds are designed to not come off of the track during the ride and riders control their speed by applying or releasing brakes connected to levers on each side of the sled.

Driving through The Great Smoky Mountains National Park - North Carolina & Tennessee
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an American national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The border between Tennessee and North Carolina runs northeast to southwest through the centerline of the park. Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited national park in the United States with over 11.3 million recreational visitors in 2016. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Maine to Georgia. The park was chartered by the United States Congress in 1934 and officially dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.

The park encompasses 522,419 acres (816.28 sq mi; 211,415.47 ha; 2,114.15 km2), making it one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States. The main park entrances are located along U.S. Highway 441 (Newfound Gap Road) at the towns of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Cherokee, North Carolina. Great Smoky Mountains was the first national park whose land and other costs were paid for in part with federal funds; previous parks were funded wholly with state money or private funds.
