Must See Sights and Landmarks in Jonathan Creek Area

"The fire tower on Mt. Cammerer in the Cosby region of the Smoky Mountains National Park is arguably one of the most picturesque fire towers in the Eastern United States. This historic lookout tower is known as a "western style" fire tower, since it is built much closer to the ridge than other fire towers in the Appalachian mountains. A western style fire tower is shorter, but since it is nestled on a high, exposed ridge it provides an excellent view."

"Recognized by many as one of the best views in Smoky Mountain National Park, Mount Cammerer stands at a height of 4,928-feet (1, 502 meters). A fire tower at the summit can still be climbed offering an incredible view of the Pigeon River Gorge and the rolling foothills of the Southern Appalachians. 360-degree panorama of the North Carolina and Tennessee Smokies."

"The hike to Mt. Cammerer is also considered difficult because of its 11.9-mile roundtrip length. Along your hike to the top, you’ll definitely see the fall colors in the trees. You’ll also pass the trail that leads to the Appalachian Trail, and there are plenty of rocky parts."

"All are familiar with the simple joy of riding a Ferris Wheel: watching the peaceful revolution of the wheel, exchanging cheerful smiles with the conductor as you board your own personal gondola, feeling the breeze against your face as you gaze at the landscape below. The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel allows you to tap into that inner child once more. This is not your ordinary Fairground Ferris wheel, however."

"The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel is a beautiful Ferris wheel located at The Island in Pigeon Forge. Standing at 200 feet tall, this towering wheel offers breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains and the city of Pigeon Forge. Guests will enjoy the sights from inside climate controlled all-glass gondolas that can sit up to 8 people."

"After a day of exploring, I started comparing Pigeon Forge to Niagara Falls, Canada, but a super hyped-up version. And just like Clifton Hill, it has a giant, climate-controlled ferris wheel. The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel is at the Island at Pigeon Forge and you can’t miss it."

"A primitive cabin sits hidden among the woodlands just outside the majestic park is known as Chapel in the Glen, the perfect venue for couples who like a rustic feel with its simple wood benches and rock-wall alter. In addition to the chapel, couples also have the choice of holding their ceremony in the garden gazebo area. Both venues are included in the wedding package choices which range from the very simple to the quite elaborate."

"The Chapel in the Glen is the sister chapel to Chapel in the Glades. It’s a bit smaller and a bit older than Chapel in the Glades, but some would argue offers better views due to its elevation. The Chapel in the Glen at the time of this writing has over 75 reviews on Google with an overall rating of 4.2 stars."

"In a gazebo at a secluded garden retreat, with a canopy of trees over a shimmering pond and waterfall. Book a wedding at the Chapel in the Glen to avail this stunning setting for an outdoor wedding. They have dressing rooms for the bride and groom."

"It’s nearing the end of your second day in Gatlinburg, but before you go to dinner, head up to the observation deck of the Gatlinburg Space Needle. In the evening, the Space Needle’s 360-degree view of the Parkway and the surrounding area is unbelievable. No trip to Gatlinburg is complete without going to the top of the Space Needle and seeing the Parkway lit up. For even more fun, hop on one of the glass elevators and check out Arcadia, a 25,000 square-foot recreation center with an arcade, laser tag and a hurricane simulator."

"The Iris Theater at the Gatlinburg Space Needle is another wonderful destination for live entertainment in Gatlinburg. The Iris is currently hosting Impossibilities: An Evening of Magic, Mindreading, and Mayhem."

"McCampbell was a blacksmith, carpenter, and the church’s minister. The original log building was replaced with the current one in 1902. As with the Primitive Baptist Church, America’s Civil War divided the church."
