This is where you can enjoy the mountain views from the Space Needle, an observation tower that stands 407 feet high. Or, you can take the 2.1-mile Sky Lift to get from Downtown Gatlinburg to Ober-Gatlinburg. For more information, visit the city&#8217;s tourism website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more up-close view of the mountain scenery, climb the Gatlinburg Space Needle, which rises 400 feet above the city. You can also enjoy the arcades, pizza joints, and souvenir shops that line the space needle&#8217;s exterior. If you&#8217;re curious about what you might see, don&#8217;t hesitate to use your EMF reader, which is handed out at the beginning of every tour. The device will help you monitor your energy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of the Smoky Mountains, the town is a great place to explore during a Civil War battle. Although most residents of the town were neutral during this time, Gatlinburg was attacked by both Union and Confederate forces to protect the saltpeter mines in the area. This was the only battle fought in Gatlinburg, and it&#8217;s not too surprising to hear of the city&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city is surrounded by high ridges on all sides, including the Le Conte Mountainmassif to the south and Sugarland Mountain to the west. The Big Ridge Mountain and Grapeyard Ridge Mountain rise to the east and north. The West Fork of the Little Pigeon River flows from Mount Collins to its junction with the Little Pigeon River at Sevierville. The city is a great place for a summer vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gatlinburg is a popular tourist destination all year round, the autumn season is especially spectacular. Fall colors accentuate the Great Smoky Mountains, making this town an ideal setting for a Halloween celebration. Historic ruins and ghost stories are a highlight of the town&#8217;s attractions. A historic witchcraft festival and Scottish culture add to the area&#8217;s appeal. If you&#8217;re planning a trip to Tennessee, you&#8217;ll find it a place for every occasion and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you&#8217;re in Gatlinburg, don&#8217;t miss the historic Ogles family&#8217;s homestead. The famous Ogles family settled the area and was the first settlers. The earliest people who settled this area were veterans of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. They were rewarded with 50 acres of land, and they decided to settle in the area. During the summer months, the locals would drink the moonshine made by the Ogles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The region&#8217;s history is steeped in rich heritage. The city&#8217;s history is steeped in mythology, and the area is a fascinating place to explore. While you&#8217;re in the area, take the time to explore the ruins of the former Huff family and the many other historical buildings. You won&#8217;t regret your decision! With so many historic sites, there&#8217;s something for everyone. The Tennessee Gatlinburg welcome center is a must for any holiday in the Smokies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel to the eastern mountain town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and you&#8217;ll find yourself in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains.
