The trolley will be heated, so you won’t have to worry about bundling up too much unless you plan on spending quite a bit of time outside before or after your ride. You can park your car at the Pigeon Forge trolley station and catch your ride on the trolley at the exact location. The ride will take you through the lights, giving you a tour of the area as well as a tour of the history of the light displays.
