3 days in Cherokee Itinerary

The center of Cherokee culture in the eastern part of the country, the town named after this Native American tribe serves as a base camp for hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Venture out of the city with trips to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Alum Cave Trail, Mount LeConte, &more) and Dry Falls (in Highlands). There's much more to do: try to win big at Casino at Harrah’s Cherokee, examine the collection at Museum of the Cherokee Indian, stop by Unique Gift Outlet, and admire the sheer force of Mingo Falls.

Expect a daytime high around 53°F in February, and nighttime lows around 29°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 23rd (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
