To help with that, this writer will be your virtual tour guide. Click the links below to follow along. Be forewarned, after taking the virtual tour of Gatlinburg webcams it may be impossible to resist visiting on the ground.
Before leaving, please be sure to fasten your seatbelt. The virtual tour of Gatlinburg webcams begins as you come from Knoxville on the Parkway. You have just passed through Pigeon Forge and part of the Great Smoky Mountains before arriving in town.
As you come into Gatlinburg, the first stop is at one of my favorite webcams. It's located atop the Hogg's and Honey's Saloon at 745 Parkway. The camera is aimed at the McDonald's in the heart of downtown at traffic light #10. What makes this stop fun is that travelers on the ground and wave at the folks back home. All it takes is a little advance preparation.
If visiting on the ground, standard traveling protocol requires leaving an itinerary copy at home. Be sure to give this link to friends heading out the door.
Upon arriving in Gatlinburg, head over to the arches and face Fountain Plaza. Wear a colorful shirt and phone or text your friends. Be sure to wave big! The image won't be super sharp but your friends should be able to spot you. After all, you'll be the one that's waving.
Your next virtual stop at one of the Gatlinburg Webcams is only a couple of blocks up at traffic light #8. It sits on top of Blaine's Bar and Grill at 812 Parkway.
Visitors on the ground who stand underneath the directional street sign at the traffic light can be seen from this camera. To be seen from the sign, face Historic Nature Trail and look toward the corner on the left.
The next and final stop of your journey of the webcams is at the top of the Gatlinburg Space Needle at 115 Historic Nature Trail. This is probably the most fun on your virtual tour of the city. The control panel lets you view 360 degrees and zoom in or out.
Some of the other Gatlinburg webcams are away from the city at your overnight accommodations. We will be stopping at each location on your virtual tour.
Some visitors will choose to stay for awhile at the Gatlinburg Getaway Vacation Log Home. This camera, found at 916 High Mountain Way. Like other webcams the location of this one won't allow travelers to wave at those at home. This peaceful camera gives viewers a relaxing view of the Gatlinburg sky. This is one of the webcams that allows guests to check in 24 hours a day.
Other evening accommodations on the virtual tour are available at the Elk Springs Resort. It's one of the popular of the Gatlinburg webcams because of the view of what the National Parks Service calls the tallest mountain in the Eastern United States.
Virtual tourists have been known to sit for quite some time while enjoying the view from 1088 Powdermill Road. Check in is available at this location 24 hours a day.
I hope you have enjoyed the virtual tour via the Gatlinburg webcams. Tipping the driver is not necessary although the sharing of this article is appreciated.
