THE 3 BEST PLACES TO GO STARGAZING IN THE SMOKIES


Stars shoot across a glowing night sky.

One of the most beautiful things to do in The Great Smoky Mountains is stargazing on a blanket under the sky. Bring your constellation maps and your coziest pillows and relax as you enjoy your time with your significant other or friends. This is the best opportunity to spend time with those you love while enjoying creation. 

 

  1. Cade’s Cove

One of the best places to view the nighttime sky is from the fields of Cade’s Cove. Run through the wildflowers before it gets dark and explore the nearby trails. When the sun sets, lay out your blanket and search for constellations in the sky.

 

  1. Newfound Gap

Cruise up mountain roads through the breathtaking hills of the Smokies and then make a stop at Newfound Gap. These gorgeous views will make you want to stay all night and find every constellation. 

 

  1. Chimney Tops

Rising above the clouds is a peak, jutting out of the mountainside. The Chimney Tops provides magnificent views and will be an even better place to watch the stars as they rise into the night sky. 

 

No matter the place you choose to stargaze from, you will love the overwhelming beauty of the Smokies. If you are looking for a place to stay then look no further than Smoky Mountain Chalet Rentals. With a cabin for everyone and one just around the corner from every stargazing spot, you will love what they have to offer!
