About My Smoky Mountain Guide

We are glad you landed on our website and arrived at this page. Our goal is to help you know as much as possible about the Great Smoky Mountains before you plan your next trip. Who are we? We are Marc and Ann Bowman, residents of the great state of Tennessee and lovers of the Smoky Mountains.

Neither of us were born here, however, Ann moved here for college and attended Carson Newman right up the road. The two of us met at Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina and soon married, spending our honeymoon in Townsend, Cades Cove, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Outside of living overseas on three occasions, East Tennessee has been home for us ever since.

We love the Smokies and want you to love it too. Our goal is to provide you with information that helps you decide where to go, what to do, and how to have a great experience on your vacation. The criteria for a perfect vacation is not the same for everyone, and we know that.

The Smokies provide avenues for relaxing by a winter fire, participating in outdoor adventure and sports, visiting museums, enjoying dinner theaters and live shows, shopping, watching cultural demonstrations, seeing arts & crafts made, riding a train through the mountains, and so much more. No matter what kind of vacation you want to have, you can have it right here.

We want you to experience the Smokies again and again, and we want to help you each and every time. The Great Smoky Mountains await you, so what are you waiting for?
