DAY 2

Wake up to a deluxe continental breakfast included at the lodge followed by a narrated driving tour of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Enjoy the splendor and beauty of the mountains and keep your eyes peeled for bear, deer, raccoons and any of the many animals and wildlife of the Smokies. Your guide will enlighten you on both the natural and cultural history of the mountains and the people that call it home. Afterwards, you will have free time in downtown Gatlinburg for lunch on your own and at your expense. Next, become part of the longest running feud in history and help the Hatfields and McCoys try to settle their differences mountain-style at the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud Show. Whether you're city-folk or country cuzins, you'll love the singin' and dancin', mighty feats of strength, jaw dropping stunts and side-splitting comedy. The chaos doesn't stop with fightin' cousins, watch for the divin' hillbillies and divin' dogs in our swimmin' hole. Come hungry because Granny guarantees a full Southern Homestyle Feast with all the fixins'. Next, prepare to be entertained by the show rated "Best Show in the Smokies", Country Tonite. The show provides the best in quality entertainment with singing, dancing, comedy, powerful gospel and Patriotic numbers in a high-energy performance. It's that "feel good" kind of show that will stay with you long after you leave. After the show, you return to the lodge for the night to turn in for the night.

DAY 3

Following a deluxe continental breakfast at the lodge, you have a morning of leisure in downtown Gatlinburg or grab your cameras and enjoy an OPTIONAL experience with a spectacular sky view of Gatlinburg and the Smokies atop the Gatlinburg SkyBridge and SkyDeck. Located in Skylift Park, the SkyBridge is the longest suspension bridge in North America at 680 feet across the valley below, and at its mid-point 140 feet above ground there are glass floor panels to catch an amazing view downward. The Skydeck features an expansive viewing deck, outdoor seating and SkyCenter building that offers a snack bar with handheld food items, beverages and seating to marvel at the mountains in all their glory. (This is an optional tour and an additional fee of $35 per person applies. You must be booked and paid in full at least 30 days in advance of tour's departure.) Lunch is on your own and at your expense while in Gatlinburg. Early afternoon, you will have a behind-the-scenes tour and tasting at Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Gatlinburg. Moonshine used to be something that was made in the hills and done so with old stills and illegally, or at least that was a long time ago. Ole Smoky takes that homemade goodness and mixes it with palate-pleasing flavors for people to enjoy. Learn about the process of making moonshine, take part in a sampling and have the chance to purchase different products that Ole Smoky infuses with "the fruits of their labor". Your days' adventures end with amazing views from Ober Mountain Gatlinburg. Your ride begins from downtown Gatlinburg and soars upward 2.1 miles reaching a high point of 2,813 feet above sea level. Their two 120-passenger counter-balanced, enclosed cars provide an amazing and memorable, aerial experience. In the winter of 1972, an idea to provide a safer, more comfortable way to reach the ski area was needed and the Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway was born. The upper mall currently houses the skating rink, retail shops, an arcade and eateries. Dinner this evening is included while up on Ober Mountain. At the conclusion of your visit, you return to Greystone Lodge for the night to relax and unwind or venture out to downtown Gatlinburg on your own.

DAY 4

Your day begins with a deluxe continental breakfast included at the lodge. Mid-morning you will depart for the Island in Pigeon Forge to browse the shops and have lunch on your own and at your expense. The Island offers more than 80 shops, restaurants and attractions including a 200-foot Observation Wheel to catch spectacular views of the surrounding area (Tickets for the Observation Wheel are NOT included in your tour package). Early afternoon, you have admission included for Dollywood to enjoy the Park and Dollywood Craft and Entertainment Village at your leisure. Known for its down-home charm, this world-famous 150-acre theme park is as unique as its namesake and offers something for everyone and every interest. Dollywood offers a range of rides from low thrill to high-flying and a variety of shows and entertainment throughout the park. Also, during the fall Dollywood features Harvest Festival Crafters including unique artisans marketing their crafts and savor the flavors and tantalizing aromas of seasonal treats that tickle your tastebuds. Dinner is on your own and at your expense while at Dollywood. When the sun sets over the Smokies, the park transforms into a display of autumn splendor as thousands of carved pumpkins and larger-than-life pumpkin icons light up the night. Great Pumpkin LumniNights is the highlight of the Harvest season at Dollywood illuminating the evening sky with the whimsical warming glow of over 12,000 pumpkins and is accompanied by live music that fills the air with the sounds of Southern gospel, bluegrass and country tunes to tap your toes to. At the conclusion of your time at Dollywood, you return to the lodge for the night with fond memories of your illuminating experience.
