Tennessee

Rolling mountains, Civil War history, Native American history, arts, and craft breweries; there is something for everyone in the Volunteer State.

The Smoky Mountains

Nature abounds in the Smoky Mountains. Hike or bike countless trails, including the famous Cades Cove (a great place to see bears).
And if you want a little more "city action", Gatlinburg and Dollywood are nearby.
