Strap in and ride side-by-side across six dual zip lines, walk four aerial sky bridges, and rappel from the final platform after an ATV climb to the summit. This two-hour Gatlinburg tour pairs adrenaline with sweeping Smokies views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engines of a six-seat ATV thrum under your feet as it climbs a steep, wooded switchback; the mountain pulls you up 400 vertical feet in half a mile and the town below shrinks into a scatter of roofs. At the highest clearing, the guide straps you into a harness, the trees shift like a crowd and the first dual cable gleams over the ridge. Then you step off and the Great Smoky Mountains pull you forward — wind tugging at your jacket, ridgelines daring you to look longer.
