The mountains focus the soul

Its true, many people head to the mountains to relax and find a peace that can't be found at other destinations. Perhaps it is the grandeur of the mountains. In a way they put things in perspective. The weather seems more noticeable, the clouds more vibrant and the air is fresher. Maybe it is the fact that while there are modern conveniences in Bryson City, there is also an unmistakable simplicity in the mountains. A simplicity that beckons to sit by the fire and talk with family and friends, that draws us to that long walk in the woods with your kids. Yet, the mountains are the perfect place to focus on what is truly important about the holiday season. 

Polar Express Great Smoky Mountain Railroad: A must see this holiday season

If you have kids or are just a big kid at heart, then you won't want to miss this holiday tradition. The Polar Express Train excursion at the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. The round-trip departs the Bryson City depot and is about an hour and a half long. The ride is set to the soundtrack of the movie.  Riders will enjoy warm cocoa and cookies while reliving the magical story. The ride takes passengers to the “North Pole” where kids will be thrilled to find Santa Claus waiting. Santa boards The Polar Express, greeting each child and presenting each with a special gift as in the story, their own silver sleigh bell. This is a wonderful and heartwarming tradition you need to add to your family's Thanksgiving weekend

There's an adventure around every corner

The Smoky Mountains are a playground for those who love the outdoors. During the holidays we all spend too much time at the table. Sure the food is great, but all too often we eat more than we want. Getting outside and enjoying one of the many local attractions is a great way to burn calories, stay in shape and let's face it take away the guilt of the second helping of aunt Sarah's apple pie. 

Hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, cycling, and hunting are just a few of the activities that you will find in the local area. If you come later during the Christmas holiday you can even take advantage of skiing. 

If you need help finding the perfect adventure for you or your party we are always ready to help. Just give us a call at the office and we'll be happy to steer you in the right direction. 

A white Christmas is possible

If you have always dreamed of a white Christmas but find yourself mowing your grass instead, than you need to find your way to the Smoky Mountains this holiday season. Don't worry Santa will find you, and you may find the snow.
