Imagination Mountain looks really good. Another question I have is is it easy to get to and park in Gatlinburg from here? We are also very interested in hiking in the national park and were wondering if this is easy to get to? We have three kids (9, 7 and 5) and would like to walk around downtown and do 'touristy' stuff one day but hike and get off the beaten path the rest.
It`s about 15 minutes to G-burg. very easy. there is a trail at the back of the campground that goes into the Smoky`s, the campgrounds neighbor is the NP. We really liked it. there are a lot of places to go hiking from there. and about another 15 minutes from G-burg and your in the NP. from there you can go anywhere you want. lots of nice trails to some waterfalls.
