It snowed in Gatlinburg this week!

Funny thing! Winter usually arrives in Gatlinburg about the same time every year - right after the Christmas parade. We got several reports of a 'beautiful snowfall' in Gatlinburg earlier this week.

Winter is a fantastic time to visit Gatlinburg. Here are some pictures to prove it.

When you drive in through the National Park, you'll go through several tunnels. This is just one view as you come out of a tunnel.


Sometimes, the trees frost up like this one. This sure beats any 'flocked' Christmas tree!


Here's a view from the Tower deck at Smoky Mountain Tower. Yes, it's snowing across the way at Ober Gatlinburg.


This is a view of the storm last Christmas as it crossed Mt. LeConte. This was taken by our daughter, Kathy, from All Decked Out.


And finally, here's what All Decked Out looks like in the snow.

We think you'll agree - the Smokies are beautiful in the winter. And remember, we're only about 10 minutes from the best ski resort in the southeast - Ober Gatlinburg. So we hope you'll join us at either All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower this winter for some great fun and spectacular scenery.
