Elkmont Ghost Town | Part 2 | The Wonderland Hotel, 109 Years Later | Great Smoky Mountains

 

Story Description:

After exploring the Appalachian Club area of the Elkmont Ghost Town in Part 1 of this vlog series, we now set out to locate the Wonderland Hotel to see what remains of the old abandoned lodge that first opened its doors back in 1912 to travelers of the Great Smoky Mountains.

A little off track at first in our search for the Wonderland Club area of Elkmont, we eventually stumbled across the last remnants of the old hotel and annex that still sit quietly on the hilltop.
