Are the Smokey's considered Appalachian?
If you refer to he Great Smoky Mountain National Park, then yes.

There are referred to at times as the "Smokies".

My mom was born and raised outide Sevierville.  I spent several weeks in summer at the farm there on Chapman Highway.

I loathe Pigeon Forge.

I've never been there. Why do you hate it?  Because of Dollywood?

Nothing but a tourist trap. If you like riding go carts, it is the place to be. 

However, the Gallinburg Country Club golf course (which is actually in Pigeon Forge) is a pretty fun layout, if you can stand the heat.

Never been to Dollywood.  Pigeon Forge is a traffic mess of tourist traps and cheap attractions.  I remember it as it was ca. 1960 when we would pass through there, it was beautiful then, a total mess now, think Myrtle Beach but worse.

My wife said she'd divorce me if we ever drove through it again.

I spent a summer in San Antonio putting hot tar roofs on aircraft hangers at Randolf AFB in 1982. I know what heat is. ;)
