Everytime we visit Gatlinburg we go in here. The associates are very knowledgeable and helpful. They all have great attitudes and you are never rushed. The prices are a little high but the quality of goods is fantastic. If you don't mind paying for the best of whatever you may be looking for this is the place to visit. Their... More

This place was pretty great. Carried most of what you need to get outfitted for hiking, paddling, etc... Prices were a little steep, but you are in Gatlinburg. Grabbed some Appalachian Trail merch. Always trying to help the ATC!! More

This is way better than the bass pro shops! I love the gear and I could really have spent all day just looking at what they had there. More

It was super handy having a store like this so close to all that outdoor adventure. The staff was very helpful and knew the merchandise well. Also had some good advice for people not from around there. Cool stuff, bigger than most outdoor recreation stores I've been to. We were short on time and needed a gear replacement fast, and... More

Good location to the park and well trained and knowledgeable staff. Attractive store, but inventory could have been a little more expansive. More

Had a large selection of clothing on upper level. Could have stocked more in the camping area. Nice selection of shoes. Liked the rockers on the front porch. More

We stopped here expecting to find a 'store' but instead it is a lovely solid building with a climbing wall, terrific presentation of goods, and the most friendly and helpful people on earth. We were looking for some outdoor wear for cool weather, and with the help of their staff were able to find what we wanted and it was... More

This is a huge store with a lot of camping, hiking gear as well as clothing from brands like Northface. Good selection of clothing items for men, women, and children. They also have fun items for kids, a climbing wall, and quality "souvenirs". All in all, a fun place to visit, they probably have anything you may have forgotten! More
