Hidden Tennessee (1997) Unknown - 1997
by Olmstead, Marty
From the publisher
From barbecue to the best spots for music in Memphis, this all-new guide covers the famous attractions and hidden getaways in this popular Southeast destination
-- Tennessee is within a day's drive for 75 percent of all Americans
Travelers to Tennessee can hike the Appalachian Mountains, canoe the Ocoee River (site of the 1996 Olympic white-water events), browse the folk-art shops of Knoxville, and explore Civil War battlefields around Chattanooga. But these activities are just a fraction of the adventures available in the Volunteer State.
Hidden Tennessee is one of the first comprehensive guides to this up-and-coming getaway destination. Here is the inside scoop on lodging -- from historic hotels and quaint bed-and-breakfast inns to secluded mountain retreats and riverside fishing lodges. Travelers are also shown the best spots to get "a taste of Tennessee", including brunch aboard a steamboat and lip-smacking feasts at roadside barbecue joints.It is in Tennessee that America expresses itself in music, and Hidden Tennessee swings folks toward those sweet sounds. Whether travelers are hoping to hear fast-paced bluegrass at a barn dance, country music at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, or down-and-dirty blues on Memphis's Beale Street, Hidden Tennessee seats music fans front row center.
This thorough guide also shows how to lose the crowd in places where the only sound is the music of nature. It leads visitors to boating on beautiful Reelfoot Lake, fly-fishing for rainbow trout in the Tennessee River, and hiking through the dark hollows of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.First line
