Gatlinburg (Trip to Tennessee - Day Three)

.
Our plan for the third day was to climb Smoky mountains and then to see around Gatlinburg city. So this time we tried to get up as early as possible and yes we could leave Blue bird ridge at about 10 a.m. The Smokies and Gatlinburg were about 15 minutes away from Pigeon forge. Here is the route.

Then we started our journey to Great Smoky Mountains. Our Target was to see Juney Whank falls which is in Smokies. It took so much time to drive to the fall and to return. Actually our estimation has been doubled. We were dying to see a Mcdonalds coz we were that much hungry. Finally we learnt a good lesson in time estimation when climbing mountains :)

We went for a sky lift ride after the lunch and then to see Ripleys Believe It or Not museum in Gatlinburg. It was about 6 p.m. when we come out from the museum. Our next target was Dollywood adventure park. Unlucky mee !! it was closed :(  We missed one hell of a fun time and I don't know how much they missed in revenue by keeping it closed during the spring break.
