The CK Daily – Adventures in the Smokies
Good morning & Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone’s week is off to a fantastic start!
I’m just getting back into the swing of things after a long weekend getaway to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee — and it was such a blast!
We stayed in the most charming little rental, styled as a “hobbit hole” straight out of The Lord of the Rings. It was quirky, cozy, and full of character — definitely made for a memorable stay!
Our weekend was packed with adventure. On Friday, we visited the Gatlinburg SkyPark, which was absolutely stunning — even if a bit nerve-wracking for someone like me who isn’t the biggest fan of heights! You ride a ski lift up the mountain to a beautiful sky deck, and from there, you can walk across the SkyBridge — the longest pedestrian cable bridge in North America. It was breathtaking… in more ways than one!
Saturday’s journey took us through the Smoky Mountain National Park, where we ended up at the Newfound Gap Overlook — 5,046 feet in elevation and freezing cold. There was even snow! It was fun to see, but I am definitely ready for spring!
The highlight of the trip was Zorbing at Outdoor Gravity Park! If you’ve never heard of it, you’re not alone — it’s actually the only place in the U.S. where you can try it! Zorbing involves hopping into a giant, transparent inflatable ball (a “zorb”) filled with water, and rolling down a hill. Sounds crazy, right?
It was absolutely hilarious and so much fun — the water keeps you from flipping upside down, so it’s like a mix of a water slide and a human hamster wheel. We were soaked, laughing, and already planning our next trip back!
So now I have to ask — would you try zorbing?!
