These days, it's all about getting more bang for the buck. We all want our dollars to stretch as far as they can go, so it's nice when we find a product or service that allows us to get the most out of what we pay for it. That even applies to vacationing. If you're going to spend X amount of dollars, why not spend them on something that you can the widest range of experiences from?
Whether you're thinking about visiting the Great Smoky Mountains this spring or even this summer or fall, it's not too early to start planning your trip. It's always a good idea to make lodging reservations well in advance, and if you have to arrange for a rental car or alternative transportation while you're here, it's probably a good idea to get going on that as well.
We'll be the first to admit that Goats on the Roof is an unconventional name for a tourist attraction. One of the most frequent questions we get from our guests is a simple one: “Why? Why are there goats on your roof?” Of course, there's a story behind the name and the concept. It's not an idea that we just plucked out of thin air.
If you've never visited the Great Smoky Mountains during Christmas, you should seriously consider making 2023 the year that you start a new holiday tradition. The mountains are magical this season thanks to the dozens and dozens of attractions and other businesses that not only put on their best Christmas décor but also host unique holiday-themed events that help get everyone into the spirit of things.
You can feel it in the air; summer is starting to slip away, and the days are starting to feel cooler and less oppressively humid - just in time for the official arrival of autumn this week. Here in the Great Smoky Mountains, we don't take such transitions lightly. In fact, fall is one of the most celebrated seasons in the Smokies, and if you read on, you'll get a 30,000-foot overview of how each of our communities - Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg - is celebrating Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival.
You have to admit it: Goats On The Roof is a catchy name for a tourist attraction. And for the past 10 years, we've answered a lot of questions about that name and how it came to be. Regardless of the origins, we're proud to say that we actually DO have live goats on our roof. What you see is what you get. But if you want to know more about WHY they're up there in the first place, then we'll share that backstory with you in this post.
In the decade that we've been in the Smokies of East Tennessee, all of us at Goats On The Roof have prided ourselves on offering visitors a unique mountain experience. And we've tried to offer entertainment that fits in with our natural surroundings. For example, our resident goats are alpine creatures that are comfortable in high altitudes and on steep slopes.
If you've ever taken the scenic drive from Pigeon Forge to Wears Valley (or vice versa), you may have noticed something a little unusual just off Wears Valley Road. In fact, you may have seen live goats hanging out on the roof of one particular roadside business. If that's the case, don't worry; you weren't seeing things. That's just a typical day here at our unique Pigeon Forge attraction called, appropriately enough, Goats On The Roof of the Smokies.
