I will be visiting Gatlinburg in about 10 days. On the way down we will be picking up our daughter at the McGhee Tyson Airport south of Knoxville. Can anyone recommend the best/quickest route to get from the airport to Gatlinburg? I would prefer to avoid the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge traffic if possible.
I see on the map that I could take highway 115 South from the airport to US 321 going East. It looks like their is a small side road on the map, Lyon Springs Road that runs into the park and then intersects with Little River Road. Little River Road then intersects with the main road running through Smoky Mtn Nat'l Park just a few miles from Gatlinburg at the visitors center. Is this a route that would be open in late December? Can anyone recommend a better route that will bypass the congested areas?
