For the couple who likes to hike, your favorite hiking trail would be a perfect spot to pop the question.  Or if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, try a new hike, maybe a waterfall hike or one with a great view.  There is nothing more romantic than finding a spot for just the two of you.  There are 850 miles of hiking trails, you’re sure to find the perfect one!

If you’re not so much the adventurous, outdoorsy type but love the views of the mountains, you could take a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the nation’s first and longest rural parkway.  There are 469 miles of beautiful forest and mountain terrain to take in along with plenty of scenic stops and picnic spots for just the perfect setting. 

Another popular Smokies destination is Cades Cove. It is actually the most visited area of the national park. With wildlife and 19th Century home sites, this idyllic setting is a sampler of everything the park has to offer.  You can hike, picnic, take a hayride, camp and learn the history of Cades Cove, even visit the Missionary Baptist Church. 

There are plenty of other wonderful ways to pop the question in the Smokies. There is so much to do, see and experience here you’re guaranteed to find the perfect place and time for your special moment.  Your significant other will be just as happy as you are to be spending this special time in the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. Being outside, spending time together relaxing and sharing a common interest may be the perfect moment to pop the question. Whether you're outdoors or in a great restaurant after a beautiful hike, a Pigeon Forge getaway is the perfect place to ask the one you love the big question.
