⛰Welcome to the Great Smokey Mountains!
🏥 Next stop on our journey to Victoria’s new Travel Nurse location is Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park & Preserve of Tennessee! We had zero idea what we were walking into…

Yes, we knew Pigeon Forge was the home of Dollywood – so probably filled with lots of tourists. We didn’t realize that Pigeon Forge is essentially the Myrtle Beach of the mountains! An endless amount of rides, restaurants, and entertainment. Our RV park was in the middle of it all so we took our competitive selfs to the go-kart track!
GSMNP is our 7th National Park since starting this RV journey. With over 12 million visitors last year it is the most visited NP in the system. Obviously we couldn’t see it all, but we did take on the Rainbow Falls hike which was over 5 miles and 1600 ft of elevation gain. Totally worth the effort as the payoff is a 90 ft waterfall. Maybe the coolest part of that day was seeing 7 bears! 🐻
Looking forward to showing you more on Part 2 of our Great Smokey Mountains trip next Sunday!
Hi! We are Thomas and Victoria, and we are starting our adventure as full-time RV newbies. We sold our stuff and bought a truck and RV (all within 5 months). We are joined by our Adventure Puppies – Outside Oreo and Backyard Barley – in our Kodiak Ultimate travel trailer. We hope you get some value out of our full-time RV living experience! Subscribe and follow along with our adventures, mistakes, and mishaps.
