Hello All, Could you please help me in planning the route
Plan time is ~1week(Nov 18-25), family of 3 (1-12yr old)
Drive from Dallas to Smoky mountains (most probably to Gatlinburg, yet to book cabin)
Plan to start on friday evening around 5pm, Reach Hot Springs, AR (yet to book place for the night)
Check Hotsprings on sat and drive to Memphis and stay for the night
Sunday - drive to Gatlinburg

Start back from Gatlinburg on thursday and reach home on sat

Does it work? Are there any places which are must see, hoping weather would be ok with no snow. Do we need to prepare for snow to/from smokies?
Any locations for photography on the way to smokies?

Thanks in advance.
