The Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Heck anywhere in East Tennessee is beautiful especially in fall when the leaves begin to change color.
That's a nice area and Gatlinburg is pretty cool but Pigeon Forge is the tackiest most over-commercialized town in the country. Would it even be there without Dollywood? Personally, I like the Johnson City area best in E.Tennessee. In fact the Johnson City area is one of my favorite areas anywhere.
I like the jc elizabethton area to. Pigeon forge was there before dolly wood so I reckon it would still be there just not on as large a scale. As far as pigeon forge you are telling it right.
My kids like it there cuz they can ride the go carts and stuff. I myself prefer Gatlinburg, exploring the mountains like Clingmans Dome, the abundance of wildlife is cool. I went hiking up there a couple years ago and it was awesome. Watch out for bears though if you go hiking. I saw several. I also like going to the muscle car museum and bass pro in sevierville.
