Feature writer for Blue Ridge Outdoors, Jess
Daddio, states, "...perhaps even more unique than the city's close
proximity to recreational resources is the vibe of present-day Knoxville, a
feeling of progression and unity that can most aptly be described with one
word: collaboration."
Said Visit Knoxville President Kim
Bumpas: "Knoxvillians know how awesome Knoxville is
and now the word is getting out,". "Our Urban Wilderness is easily accessible from various parts of
town including our vibrant downtown. For these reasons and many others,
Knoxville really offers a great deal to visitors, plus the sense of community
is amazing."
