This live camera looks out over Gatlinburg, a mountain town at the northern edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Watch the stream to get a sense of the sky, the ridgelines and how the day is developing in the hills. It is a useful check before planning a drive into the park.

About the town and its setting

Gatlinburg sits in the valley of the Little Pigeon River, at roughly 1,000 metres above sea level, with steep forested slopes rising on every side. It is the main gateway to the Smoky Mountains from the Tennessee side and is known for its scenic cable car rides, the Ober Gatlinburg area and the many trails that start within a short drive of the town. The mood is busy in summer and quieter in winter, when the ridges are often bare and the air is cool.

What to watch and when

The view is most rewarding in the early morning, when mist often lies in the valleys and the peaks stand out in clear light. Late afternoon can bring warm colours to the slopes, especially in autumn, when the hardwood forests turn gold and red. Depending on the view, you may also see clouds building over the ridges during summer afternoons, a common pattern in this part of the Appalachians.

Climate and getting around

Gatlinburg has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and cool to mild winters, and it can receive significant rain and occasional snow at higher elevations. Spring and autumn are generally the most pleasant times to visit. The nearby communities of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are a short drive away, and the Pisgah Inn and Sweetwater cameras listed on this page offer views from elsewhere in the region.
