100 Secrets Of The Smokies : A Savvy Traveler's Guide

Summary: Smoky Mtn. Park vs. Smoky Mtn. region
Review: 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.

Summary: These Folks Know Their Stuff
Review: There's more to East Tennessee and the Smokies than Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I've lived in the area for 20 years and these folks have uncovered gems that I never knew existed. Definitely the book for anyone interested in the region's back roads.

Summary: A excellent, informative book!
Review: 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.
