All major through roads closed in the Great Smoky Mountains national park

Within an hour, every single major road in the Great Smoky Mountains national park is closed now to the winter storm dumping snow and freezing rain on the Smokies.

There are a few vehicles stranded by Alum Cave Trailhead which have not been able to make it down the slick surface of Newfound Gap Road and the GSMNP has personnel and trucks on the way to assist them.

Presently the Foothills Parkway Spur connecting Gatlinburg Tennessee with Pigeon Forge Tennessee remains open at this time.

Wilderness Wildlife Week part of the the Winterfest celebration in the Great Smoky Mountains is kicking off today in Pigeon Forge.

8K run for GSMNP will tie up Pigeon Forge Parkway Saturday Morning

The parkway in downtown Pigeon Forge will be partially closed to let the runners from the run for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which will start at Tanger outlet mall in Pigeon Forge and then ends back at Tanger Five Oaks around noon.

The weather doesn't look like it will cooperate since there is a 90 percent chance of rain, but the event will be held rain or shine.

Expect traffic delays for this good cause - better yet come down and cheer on the runners!
