August in Gatlinburg TN

As August comes so does school and summer fades into fall. While the weather is still warm you should take that vacation and get away to the Smoky Mountains before everything starts getting crazy again. Gatlinburg has a laid back atmosphere and everybody is friendly. Southern hospitality is everywhere and waiting on you to visit. Cabins For You has many cabins with pool access or a pool in the yard. There’s no need for the tan that everybody thinks they must have for the beach. With plenty to do in Gatlinburg, TN on your summer vacation you’ll want to come back for a visit time and time again.

Nobody wants to be indoors when the weather is warm and sunny. You don’t have to be either. Gatlinburg TN has many outdoor activities that you can do. During the day there’s hiking, cycling, camping, golf, fishing, horseback riding, rafting, tubing, etc. Most outdoor activities won’t cost you and arm and a leg either. There are several places where you can do most of the above activities for less that $10 per person. Fishing can be done with a Tennessee fishing permit and on most any river.

There will be a lot of events and activities still going on in August as well. The Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales being one of those events. If you hadn’t been in town to see the street performances given by these actors and singers then it’s a great thing to see. Hear stories of the “old days” of settling Gatlinburg in the 1800’s by local performers dressed in full costume reflecting on the time period. This continues through August. You can also walk through downtown and visit many of the attractions along the Parkway. Stop by Ripley’s Believe it or Not auditorium and head off to the Amazing Mirror Maze across the street.

You can make a day trip out of that! Cade’s Cove is a short drive away as well. Drive through the 8+ mile one way road and look at the beauty of the wildlife and the scenery. It’s a great place for picture taking as well!
