What better place for a photo op than in front of one of the several waterfalls, rock hopping across a stream, or hiking across narrow ridges?
Gatlinburg Sky Lift
This attraction is just how it sounds. A sky lift that takes you 1,800 feet high into the mountains! Here you will experience about 20 minutes worth of absolutely breathtaking views on your way up and down from Crockett Mountain. Though if you purchase the unlimited ticket, you are free to take as many rides as time permits. Currently, the Sky Deck, which allows you to get off at the top of the mountain, is under construction, so for now you continue to relax as it turns you back around to make your venture down the mountain.
