Bryson City, NC

Step into the classic holiday story aboard the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. Leaving from the Bryson City, NC depot, guests sip hot chocolate and enjoy sweet treats while they sing their way to the North Pole to pick up Santa. On the ride back, Santa visits every coach and gives each child the first gift of Christmas. Bryson City is about a 1.5 to 2 hour scenic drive from Gatlinburg, so it makes a great day trip during your stay.
