Getting around
Getting around Sevierville, Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg
The parkway and main strips tend to get busier with traffic as the day goes on. We recommend getting out early if you'd like to avoid the traffic, especially during busy season. Waze can be helpful for navigation if things are really backed up on the main roud, but its part of the fun!
