3 days in Bryson City Itinerary

The location of an old Cherokee village, Bryson City embraces a quiet side of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Take a break from the city and head to Clingmans Dome and Little Greenbrier School. Change things up with a short trip to Dry Falls in Highlands (about 1h 5 min away). There's still lots to do: relax and float downstream with a rafting and tubing tour, get interesting insight from Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, and try your luck at Casino at Harrah’s Cherokee.

To find other places to visit, reviews, where to stay, and other tourist information, you can read our Bryson City trip itinerary maker.

In May, plan for daily highs up to 75°F, and evening lows to 49°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 26th (Sun) so you can travel back home.
