"There are easy trails to walk with children or with grandparents," Ping said. "And there are also more difficult paths."
Mountains on the rise
The area has had two years to rebuild after wildfires devastated the area, Gatlinburg in particular. The fires killed 14 people, damaged more than 2,500 homes and threatened the local economy driven by tourism.
