We’re Great for Groups!

If you’re visiting the Smokies as a group, you probably already realize that planning group travel isn’t as simple as planning a family vacation. Everything must be done on a larger scale, and trying to find fun group activities is no exception. Many don’t allow groups to experience much interaction throughout the activity or, in some cases, to even stay together as a group.

Doing a zipline tour, however, is ideal for groups of any kind, whether it’s a family reunion, corporate outing, church group or school field trip. Each of our Pigeon Forge canopy tours, for example, allows as many as 10 guests to stay together as a group. Only one person is allowed on a zipline at one time, but the group travels as a unit from tree to tree, which can add up to hours of fun interaction.

At Smoky Mountain Ziplines, we have facilities and amenities that are designed to accommodate groups and cater to their activities. Give us a call in advance and let us know what you’re planning, and we’ll make every effort to accommodate your needs.

Take Advantage of the Pre-Autumn Lull

Believe it or not, we’re actually smack in the middle of one of the best times to visit the Great Smoky Mountains. Once schools are back in session, the number of visitors to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville drops off significantly, which makes everything a little easier for visitors—from booking lodgings to not waiting as long in lines for attractions to spending less time in traffic.

That advantage applies to our Sevierville ziplines too. Between now and October, when the fall colors start to change, you can enjoy warmer weather but still get all the benefits of smaller visitor numbers. Here at Smoky Mountain Ziplines, this is the ideal time to hook yourself up with one of the fastest growing family activities in town and experience for yourself what it’s like to speed your way through the treetops.

Remember not to put off coming to see us for much longer, though. Once October hits, the crowds will once again descend on the Smokies to get an up-close look at the area’s spectacular fall foliage.

We’re Zipping Toward Autumn!

It’s hard to believe, based on the record-setting heat we’ve seen in the Smokies this summer, but autumn really is just around the corner. And that means the cooler temperatures of fall will blow in as a welcome relief before you know it, in just a matter of weeks, really.

The best part of fall in the Smokies is watching the leaves turn from their normal summery green into their autumnal coat of many colors, like yellows, oranges and fiery reds. A great way to see the fall foliage up close this year will be from the vantage point offered on a Pigeon Forge zipline adventure. Just imagine speeding through air, suspended from a zipline, as you fly among the multicolored Smoky Mountain treetops.

And when you get to Pigeon Forge, be sure to look for us at Smoky Mountain Ziplines. We offer the best ziplining value in the Smokies, and we’ll show you the mountains like you’ve never seen them before!

Ziplining—Something New in the Smokies

Chances are, this won’t be your first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, which means you’ve probably done and seen it all when it comes to family-fun activities.

Ziplining as an activity has only been available in the Pigeon Forge area for a few years now, and it gives just about everyone in the family a chance to get outside, see some beautiful scenery and enjoy a real adventure in the mountains. There’s nothing like the thrill of being harnessed to a steel cable suspended above the ground and zipping your way from tree to tree at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. It’s easy; anyone within the weight, age and size limits can do, even with no experience whatsoever.

And of all the ziplines in Pigeon Forge, Smoky Mountain Ziplines is your best bet for getting familiar with this outdoor activity that’s taken the Smokies by storm.

Don’t Forget to Look Around!

There’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything, and that philosophy applies to our Pigeon Forge zip line adventure too. When you get started, your guides will equip you with all the necessary gear, including a helmet, body harness and leather gloves. And once you’re out on the course, you’ll also be given a set of instructions that will help you get the most out of each line.

For example, you’ll learn just a few hand signals that tell you when to slow down and when not to put on the brakes, for example. There are also guidelines for stepping off the launch platform, where to place your hands during each ride and even how to position your legs and feet. And during each zipline run, you’ll need to make sure you watch the guide at the landing platform for any necessary hand signals.

And while being mindful of the rules and guidelines is certainly a good thing, it’s also easy to be so focused and preoccupied on them that you forget to look around and enjoy the view from up in the air. Be sure you take a few moments on each run to take in the scenery, from the treetops above you to the rolling hills below your feet. It’s a unique perspective for sure, so don’t miss out!
