One of my favorite spots.

There are lots of beautiful scenic spots in and around Gatlinburg.  This is one of my favorites:

This is one of the few spots on the Little Pigeon River where the water forms a reflection pool.  You can see the rocks in the distance, but this spot looks like a mirror.

It's a hard spot to find, but I'll tell you what to look for.  As you are driving south on the Parkway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, this just south of Flat Branch road, about 3/4 of the way to the Gatlinburg Welcome Center.  It will be a very fast glimpse of the river as you go around a curve to the left.  There is a low stone wall at the spot, so there is no place to park right there - you have to go a couple hundred yards to park and walk back.

The next time you're staying at Smoky Mountain Tower or All Decked Out, and you're south on the Parkway, see if you can pick out the spot.  It will be worth looking for!  Let us know if you find it.
