Sevierville and Gatlinburg (ala Smokey mountains) are ranked among the most visited by tourists in the nation.
During the summer the daily traffic is bumper to bumper in both directions....3-4 lanes in each direction....solid.
Holidays forget even trying to get near there.
Of those mentioned Ashville, while still a very frequented tourist area, is not like the other two.
We have a home in the foothils of the Smokies in the woods on Lake Norris...in LaFollette, TN....about an hour North of Sevierville/Galtinburg....for 22 years.
A great area to get away from it all with the advantage of being able to pick and choose when to go to those other areas.
Usually during school and during the week when most folks are at school/work.
