Townsend is one of three gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and a good option for those who want a serene vacation destination that still offers a wealth of activities. Cades Cove: This open-air museum, with its historic buildings nestled among majestic mountains, is one of the most popular destinations in the Smokies. Tuckaleechee Caverns: A guided tour through caverns that are between 20 and 30 million years old is a breathtaking experience. Metcalf Bottoms: For relaxed, alfresco dining with the family, fire up one of the grills at the Metcalf Bottoms picnic area and eat at tables beside a babbling mountain river.
