Ranger Bob's Trading Post is one of my highlights on a recent trip to Gatlinburg. The shop offers a welcoming atmosphere, different from many other souvenir shops. The warm fragrance from their "Bear Farts" candles and wax melts is inviting. The selection of goods sets this place apart. Ranger Bob's offers a collection of high-quality items related to the Smoky Mountains. The Corinthian Bells wind chimes are a highlight. The t-shirts are made from soft, high-quality materials. The staff is friendly and welcoming. An employee can answer questions about the items and share information about the local artisans they support.
