1.0 out of 5 stars Smoky Mtn. Park vs. Smoky Mtn. region, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is an area of rare natural splendor. It is surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountain region which is a ... tourist trap. I bought this book hoping to find 100 secrets of the Park: the best sunrise view, the best hike for small kids, the best fishing stream, etc. The book does have a few secrets of the Park, but mostly it's about the tourist traps: the Exotic Petting Zoo, the best steakhouse, the backdoor entrance to Dollywood. If these are the things that interest you, you will like this book. However, if these are the things that interest you, then you should seriously consider vacationing in Orlando instead of in the Smoky Mountain region.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smoky Mountains Smitten, July 6, 2009

I have been traveling to the Smokies for years. The cabin we were staying in had this book on the coffee table. I really enjoyed it and was able to discover new places we knew nothing about. While it does tell about some of the more popular places, it also tells about places out of Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg that aren't advertised. I couldn't wait to come home and order a copy for myself. Interesting history of some of my favorite places too. Great book for anyone who loves the Smokies.

This book was written by people who really know the Smokies. They found some of the coolest places for all ages. I strongly recommend this book.
