Tennessee is good ol’ Rocky Top, the home of warm biscuits and dear friends, where you get stuck in church traffic and fall in love with countryfolk and no one looks twice if you throw back a beer in a honkytonk while sporting a pair of cowboy boots. It’s our favorite state and our homeland, the place where we come to feel like we belong – and these impressive sights? Well, they’re only here in our dear home state.
- Clingmans Dome

- Fall Creek Falls

- Roan Mountain
Jim Denham - Flickr Beautiful Roan Mountain State Park is located on the North Carolina-Tennessee border, right on the edge of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. The hardwood forest offers scenic views and is home to a tight-knit community of Tennesseans.

- Cades Cove
turcottes93 - Flickr Cades Cove is a lonely valley that’s tucked away in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s a historic space, one that has sought to preserve the lifestyle of the early location settlers.
- Pot Point Loop
Michael Hicks - Flickr Pot Point Loop runs over twelve miles all the Cumberland Trail, and is located just outside of Chattanooga. Most folks will visit from March to October for the best weather and view, but the loop is open all year round.
And…an extra one, just for fun: Twin Falls
Arthur T. LaBar - Flickr Located in Rock Island State Park, it’s only a mile to reach the magnificent view that is Twin Falls. Natural plant life is abundant along the hiking trail, and the deeper you trek into the park the more beautiful it gets.
