If you find yourself anywhere in the vicinity of Gatlinburg , in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, you owe it to yourself to visit the Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook, located just outside town on the Gatlinburg bypass.
From the overlook you can enjoy impressive views over downtown Gatlinburg against the backdrop of the beautiful Smoky Mountains.
The overlook is a great place to take some memorable family photos or to just relax and enjoy the changing light patterns.
The scenery is wonderful all year round, but puts on a spectacular display during the fall when the surrounding forests are ablaze with color.
