TripAdvisor LinksIntroduction ...Whether we're planning a trip and want to make reservations or still at home and looking for a place to eat, we usually start by visiting the TripAdvisor website.  Once on their website we search for what's available, then check the recommendations and experiences of other people. Although there are many ways of searching the TripAdvisor website, we prefer to start with the TripAdvisor Tourism page.  On the Tourism page you'll find a quick overview of the community, with links to restaurants, lodging, flights, rentals and nearby attractions. In addition, you'll find a link to the TripAdvisor Forum for Old Fort.  If you have a question about your travel plans, post it on their Forum and see if others can give you an answer. All of this can be found on the TripAdvisor's Tourism page for Old Fort. The following list should help you find nearby communities that also have TripAdvisor pages.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance.  A straight line distance ignores  things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line  drawn from Point A (ie- Old Fort) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Old Fort.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.6292, Longitude: -82.1814        In this case, the coordinates for Old Fort have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |  | <2> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |  | <3> | The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. |  | <4> | An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates.  That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location.  A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace. |  |  |
