Winter is a magical time in the Great Smoky Mountains! From twinkling lights to snow-capped mountains, we promise you will fall in love with winter in the Smokies. We know the best way to remember a great vacation is with a great photo, so here are our five favorite winter photo places in the Smoky Mountains.

Clingmans Dome

If you’re looking for that perfect winter mountain landscape to set the backdrop to your wintry picture, then head to Clingmans Dome. After a hike through the Smokies you will end up at the incredible tower. Ask someone to take the photo for you or get an epic selfie! The majestic, snow-capped mountains will make this photograph stand out from the rest.

Downtown Gatlinburg

If you are visiting the Smokies in the winter then you’re probably here during winterfest which is a great photo-op! Stand in front of your favorite holiday lights for an unforgettable picture that will remind you of your visit to Gatlinburg.

Back Porch of your Gatlinburg Cabin

Gather the family together for a great photo on the back porch of your Gatlinburg cabin! Whether you have a forrest view or a sweeping mountain view, the photo will turn out great. The winter season adds a little extra to the photo! If it’s snowing then this is a photo opportunity you definitely don’t want to pass up.

Ober Gatlinburg

The best place to have fun this winter is Ober Gatlinburg! From snowboarding, to skiing, to sledding, to ice skating - Ober is the best winter attraction in the Smokies. Make sure you don’t forget to take a photo while you’re there! Snap a photo of the family  hitting the slopes or twirling around on the ice rink. These will be fun winter photos you will be looking back on for years to come.

Cades Cove

Cades Cove is absolutely stunning in the winter. Early morning drives through the 9-mile loop reveal a frost-covered landscape that is breathtaking. Make time to get out of the car and pose for a beautiful winter Smoky Mountain photo during your visit this season.
