Last year about this time, it was The Island in Pigeon Forge that was really the hot new item in East Tennessee. This year, it's Wears Valley, just 15 minutes from Pigeon Forge and on the way to Townsend, the other Tennessee gateway to the Smokies.
Why Wears Valley? Because there has been much growth to the area in just the last year alone, with working beginning well before that. Wears Valley Road before one even ventures into the community has three new attractions on it alone - the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster, Goats On The Roof, and the Wear Farm City Park closer to Pigeon Forge. Then there have been exciting new businesses gaining traction that allow visitors to check out:
* Smoky Mountain Jeep Rentals (www.smokymountainjeeprentals.com)
* Groovy Tours (www.smokymountainmotorcycletours.com)
* Friendly Falls (www.friendlyfalls.com)
* GSM Outfitters (www.gsmoutfitters.com)
And more that you can find at www.wearsvalleyadventures.com!
There is, of course, much more to see and do as the Summer season starts, and we'll tell you more about that here in June. See you in just a little while! www.allthesmokies.com.
