Gatlinburg Offers Free Trolleys Now through August

GATLINBURG, Tenn. – For a seventh season, the City of Gatlinburg offers free trolley service to summer visitors 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily through Aug. 12 along the length of the Parkway, extending from traffic light No. 1 at the north end of town to light No. 10 at the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 

Approximately 800,000 patrons use the Gatlinburg trolleys annually, making it the fifth-largest mass transit system in the state.
