If you’re looking for one of the most unique and fun destinations in the Smoky Mountains, you won’t want to miss Gatlinburg SkyPark! This mountaintop park features several exciting activities for your family to enjoy, ranging from an elevated hike with scenic views to the longest pedestrian cable bridge in North America! Here are 4 fun attractions that you need to experience at Gatlinburg SkyPark:
1. Gatlinburg SkyLift
2. Gatlinburg SkyBridge
Once reaching the peak of Crockett Mountain, see if you have what it takes to stroll across the magnificent Gatlinburg SkyBridge! This pedestrian cable bridge stretches nearly 700 feet across a deep valley in a single span, which is longer than two football fields! You can walk across the bridge at your own pace while soaking in the stunning views of the valley below, and you might even see a black bear if you are lucky! In the middle of the bridge, you’ll come across 30 feet of glass where you can look directly down beneath your feet!
3. Gatlinburg SkyTrail
4. Tulip Tower
When it comes to the fun attractions at Gatlinburg SkyBridge Park, don’t miss the Tulip Tower for the most amazing views in the Smokies! The Tulip Poplar Tree is the state tree of Tennessee, and this 70-foot-tall steel tower is in memory of the sole Tulip Poplar Tree that survived after the Gatlinburg Wildfires in 2016. The tower is set back in a ravine and is accessed by two rope bridges. There are four elevated viewing platforms, each of which has its own theme with a special story! You’ll get to learn about the flora and fauna of the Smoky Mountain region, so the Tulip Tower is both an entertaining and educational experience!
