This is the Greenbrier entrance to the park and very close to the venue. There are several easy hikes in there including Porter's creek trail.
Another area in the park, this is perfect for seniors and young children as you can just drive through and see the sights.
Clingman's Dome is an easy, paved half mile hike. Its a little steep but the view from the lookout tower is incredible.
I've included a few of my favorite places in the park in the other recommendations but I highly recommend researching the park and seeing what you might like to see best.
One of the most famous restaurants in the state.
We will probably be meeting for Brunch here Sunday morning after the wedding but its definitely worth two visits.
Great views of downtown and retail and eateries are available at the top.
A unique shopping center right in downtown.
