Region: East Tennessee

Awaken your “Pioneer Spirit” in Johnson City, Tennessee. A place of unique Appalachian heritage, Americana Music and fun for the entire family.

Surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains, Johnson City screams adventure. Fly down Roan Mountain on bike. Drop over a Class IV waterfall in a raft. Hike the Appalachian Trail when it crosses into Tennessee at the Nolichucky River where elevations frequently exceed 5,000 ft.

Just seven miles from Johnson City is Historic Jonesborough, Tennessee’s oldest town. Discover the area’s unique blend of historic sites, distinctive architecture, specialty shops and quaint restaurants. Also, home to the International Storytelling Center and the annual National Storytelling festival, where stories spark the imagination and challenge the mind.

As you go back to the day dig up some fun, and bones, at the Gray Fossil Site. Prehistoric skeletons, including specimens of the new red (lesser) panda - the earliest and most primitive panda so far recorded – can be found at the new Natural History Museum and Visitors Center in Gray, Tennessee.

Give your soul something to smile about. After all, this isn’t just a place to vacation; it’s a place where you pioneer spirit will thrive.
