  • Cleveland: The Mistake by the Lake?

    Send a text

    Today's episode is all about Cleveland, Ohio. Located in the backyard of The Travel Agents, Cleveland has long been thought of as the "Mistake by the Lake" but has the Forest City shaken that reputation? We think so! Known for their sports teams like the Cleveland Browns, Cavalier, and the now Guardians, Cleveland also boasts a great art scene. Catch a show at the Palace Theater, or venture eastward 45 minutes and catch a roller coaster at Cedar Point. Cleveland has also won the accolade of best park system by the National Recreation and Park Association. Check out the nearby Cuyahoga National Park System for great bike rides, trails, and wildlife.

  • Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains: America's Most Popular National Park

    Send a text

    In the second episode of The Travel Agents Podcast, Brian and Will are joined by guest and friend, Tyler Kenepp. The Travel Agents detail their experience in America's most popular National Park and the increasingly popular Pigeon Forge. Stay tuned for this episode's "Interview with a local" where we speak with Leon Downey, the head of Pigeon Forge's Tourism Board. NOTE: Alum Cave to Mount Leconte is a 10.9 mi round trip, I mixed it up with a nearby trail that is considered a bit easier but longer. That trail was called Mount Leconte via Trillium Gap. We did the Alum Cave trailhead since we wanted to at least see the cool cave.
     Also, Anakeesta is not in Pigeon Forge, it is also in Gatlinburg.
