Things to Do in the Smokies in January 2025

January is a fantastic time to take the Smoky Mountains Jeep Tours in Gatlinburg. Yes, it's chilly, but well worth it as the winter scenery is gorgeously stark, immortalizing the mountains in a tranquil, frosty beauty. Plus, lower visitor numbers give an added sense of seclusion. The jeeps are enclosed and heated, making the trip comfortable. Embark on this journey to explore frozen waterfalls, snow-covered trails, and perhaps spot some winter wildlife. It's a winter wonderland adventure!

January offers an invigorating time to visit the Biblical Times Dinner Theatre in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. With less tourism this month, you'll enjoy a more personal, uncrowded experience. The indoor venue provides a cozy respite from winter's chill, letting you immerse in Biblically-inspired musical theater, while relishing a delicious feast. It's a soul-stirring, palate-pleasing combo that pairs perfectly with January's serene, reflective mood. A trip here starts your year with spiritual upliftment and cultural enrichment.

January is the perfect month to visit Pigeon Forge Smoky Mountain for a whitewater rafting adventure. The winter weather adds a chilling thrill to the rushing rapids, making it an exhilarating journey. Couples can experience heart-pounding rides while families can opt for milder ones, both showcasing the snow-tipped mountains and frosted pines. Indoor amenities also provide comforting warmth post-rafting. Experience rafting like never before in Pigeon Forge's winter wonderland!
