Tennessee is home to not one, but two music capitals: Memphis and Nashville. Elvis fans make the pilgrimage to Graceland and Sun Studios in Memphis, where they can also find plenty of blues clubs. Country music's headquarters is Nashville, thanks to the many record labels in the city as well as the world-famous Grand Ole Opry theater. Further East, outdoors enthusiasts will enjoy the expansive Great Smoky Mountains area, with skiing, fishing, swimming, hiking, and more. Also in this region is Dolly Parton's Dollywood amusement park, located in Pigeon Forge. And Chattanooga offers the Tennessee Aquarium and the unique Chattanooga Choo-Choo, where train cars have become hotel rooms.
