Started the day off with breakfast from the Log Cabin Restaurant in Gatlinburg. As my Mom would have said, we were “full as a tick”!!! So good!
Took a short drive to the trailhead of Clingman’s Dome. We have never seen so many cars parked alongside of the road! And that was well before we were close to the entrance. We decided to forgo the hike this time. Bummed again!
instead we stopped at Newfoundland Gap to see the pretty views of the Smokies. Then returned to do a little shopping at Stages West, the REI Store, and Renee’s favorite Christmas store in Pigeon Forge.
After supper at the RV, we went to The Island to do some shopping and to see the water light show.
