What can we see and do while we are there ?

So many things are available to see and do while in the Pigeon Forge area. Visit Dollywood (you will be here during the time of year when there have been previous Dolly sightings). The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is just minutes away. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is the most visited national park in the park system. There are 800 miles of hiking trails throughout the park, as well as a superb interpretation center at Sugarlands.

Do you like to hike? Some popular hiking trails in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park are:

Chimney Tops - It is a very challenging four mile climb.

Laurel Falls - 1.25 mile hike on a paved trail.

Rainbow Falls - a 6.7 mile hike, it's the oldest trial to Mt. LeConte.

Abrams Falls - about 5 miles round trip, with a somewhat flat trail leading to the beautiful 25 foot falls.

In addition to the wonder of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, local Tennessee cities Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Townsend offer a recreational appeal of their own.

It looks great. Can we stay longer ?

Yes you can! Come early and participate in Papa Jack’s Kingdom Expansion Forum (April 4-5), hear him preach on April 6 at Life Changers International, play and relax on April 7, and be ready to retreat on Tuesday April 8. If you want to make arrangements, link up with a friend couple or two (get information on attendees from Tim), coordinate directly with Connie at Moose Creek Crossing Cabin Rentals (let her know you are a part of Jack Taylor’s Couples Retreat, and see what you can work out). Based on availability, you may also be able to extend your stay past April 11. Connie will help you in any way she can.
