Turn up the Heat (and Fun!) this July in the Smoky Mountains
By Jim Watson © 2012, All Rights Reserved
The height of summer signals the perfect time to visit the Great
Smoky Mountains. With so many family-friendly things to do in
July, you'll have no trouble finding a long list of activities
for all ages to fill your vacation wish list. Here are just a
handful of ideas to make the most of a Smoky Mountain summer.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park comes alive in July as
native deer, bear, and foxes share their space with hikers,
bikers and campers. While exercising the usual caution around
these animals, you'll be in store for some memorable views of the
Smokies' four-legged ambassadors as they make their way through
the mountains. If you prefer your mountain trekking by car, you
can find scenic drives around Newfound Gap Road. Or don your
inflatable vest and challenge yourself to a whitewater rafting
expedition along Little Pigeon River.
Fourth of July in the Smokies begins with a boom starting with
the big bass drums that herald the annual Fourth of July Midnight
parade. You heard that right: the festivities kick off at
precisely 12 a.m. on the 4th, making this the nation's first
Independence Day parade each year! And the day ends with a bang
from Gatlinburg's acclaimed fireworks display, which begins
around an hour after sunset. In between, the Gatlinburg River
Raft Regatta invites all comers to race practically any unmanned,
floatable objects (from rubber ducks to wooden sticks) for a
chance at a prize.
Hooray for Dollywood! The pride of Pigeon Forge welcomes
fun-seekers of all ages in July. Among this park's newest
attractions is Wild Eagle, America's first winged rollercoaster.
This unique ride takes you a breathtaking 21 stories over
Dollywood. Just imagine soaring through the Smokies with nothing
but air above and below you.
Dollywood's KidsFest bills itself as the South's largest
children's festival. Here's where you'll find the Imagination
Playhouse, Chris Perondi's Stunt Dog Experience, and the
eye-popping Gazillion Bubbles Show. Top off the day with the
Dixie Stampede Dinner Show. The kids can have good, messy fun
eating barbecue with their hands, while horses and stunt riders
make a daring dash around an arena.
Crafts abound in the Smokies during July. The 37th annual
Gatlinburg Craftsman's Fair was named one of the Southeast's most
popular events. Hundreds of artists and crafters from around the
U.S. convene to display and sell their wares. You'll find some
gorgeous, handmade items from well-known national and local
artisans.
Have a ball. The Tennessee Smokies are a minor league team that
delivers major league fun. Take in all the action at Smokies Park
in Kodak, Tennessee. The spacious, open-air park is ideal for
whiling away a warm July night. If slow-pitch is more your
speed, the 44th annual Smoky Mountain Classic Softball Tournament
takes to the field July 13-15. It's a sit-on-the-blanket family
event with face painting, hot dogs, and plenty of country charm.
Summer in the Smokies awaits! One of America's great
destinations, the Great Smoky Mountains, delivers a lifetime of
fond memories whether you're an adventure-seeker eager for the
next great challenge, a family ready for fun and frolic. Kick
back and relax in one of the most beautiful natural settings
imaginable.
