We are taking a long weekend to ride motorcycles in the Gatlinburg area. We will be staying at Zoders. Any places we need to put on our list to either see or where to eat?

We like Apple Barn (in Pigeon Forge) for Breakfast and Park Grille (in Gatlinburg) for dinner.
Make sure to drive through the park. Cades Cove is a nice quiet drive as is Roaring Forks (just outside the park). Lots of shopping to be had in both Gatlinburg (little shops, touristy) and Pigeon Forge (outlet shops).
Ripley's Aquarium is nice if you're in that, but it's pricey so we usually only go every other visit (we go to the area every 1-2 years).

If you like pancakes - make sure you eat at the Pancake Pantry. I love their Swiss Chocolate Chip Pancakes or their Wild Blueberry Pancakes.

Must ride Roaring Forks! Love this auto trail. I about hyperventilated in a truck on that trail, I'd pass out completely on a motorcycle. Giving me the chills thinking about it right now  I'd be walking down |

Ripley's Aquarium is nice if you're in that, but it's pricey so we usually only go every other visit (we go to the area every 1-2 years). Not so much anymore, unless you can go during the week, earlier in the day is better. Roaring Fork, yes and they just finished re-paving it. As far as eating, the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge is another great place to eat. I use to live in Sevierville and worked in Maryville. Lots of motorcycles around. Many do day trips, for example "The Dragon" (CAUTION - VERY CURVEY (SP)) but nice ride. Also see alot of riders take Wears Valley Road from Pigeon Forge to Townsend and then take a right onto 321, going back towards Maryville and jumping on the Foothills Parkway. Foothills Parkway is nice and not as much vehicle traffic (or use to be that way, anyway). We don't have motorcycles but we like to ride around alot, take a picnic lunch and when we find a nice spot stop and eat. Hope you have a great time! |

I suggest The Donut Friar in the Village shopping area. Such a cute little place and the doughnuts are delicious. I've been wanting more for almost 3 years now.
One thing we did while there was the Hollywood Car Museum. It was much better than I expected. I only went because my husband and daughter love cars and movies. I had a really good time.

I'm just going to assume you are going to ride the Tail of the Dragon. Please don't leave anything on the Tree of Shame.

Sounds like some great ideas everyone. Thank you so much. I am printing out this thread to take home to hubby, so he can plan the rides from there.
