Elkmont, a former resort town turned ghost town is nestled in the confines of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. First settled in the early 1800s, the log cabins and the settlement eventually led to the creation of the park, before its eventual decline. However, once you get to know about its rich history, this small cluster of buildings and the surrounding wilderness seems really attractive to visitors.

Standing over 200-feet (60-meters) tall, the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel offers up views that are hard to beat. Sit in one of the comfortable all-glass compartments and sail up into the sky as the wheel turns 'round. The gondolas can fit eight people each, which means you can enjoy the incredible views of the Smoky Mountains with your whole family or group of friends.
