What a weekend we had at Smoky Mountain Ziplines! We (and our guests) enjoyed some of the most incredible springtime weather in recent memory. The days were almost completely sunny with very mild temperatures and low humidity. They were the perfect conditions for a canopy tour at our Gatlinburg zip line attraction.
Smoky Mountain Ziplines is excited to announce that we're open for our 2024 season. We've actually been at it for a few weeks, but now we're making it official. And boy, was our timing right. Our opening has lined up nicely with the arrival of spring, which has already been pretty kind to us in terms of weather. We've had some wonderful, seasonal and sunny days to ride the lines, and the overall outlook would seem to suggest that our chilliest days are behind us for a while.
Smoky Mountain Ziplines is somewhat of a paradox. A lot of our guests are surprised to learn that when they come to our outpost to zip line, Pigeon Forge and the Parkway are a very short drive away (two miles). That proximity to all the other attractions in town as well as the city's abundance of shops, restaurants and lodging providers makes our canopy tour an easy thing to work into a vacation itinerary. Not having to spend a half-hour or more driving out into the remote regions of the Smokies ultimately frees up time in your schedule for other fun things.
It doesn't have to be THIS week - but you really should plan to visit Smoky Mountain Ziplines sometime this summer, whether it's part of a full vacation in the Smokies or just a day trip from a nearby location. Ziplining is about adventure and thrills, but the overall experience is a whole lot more than that. In fact, we'll give you five good reasons to come visit our ziplines in Pigeon Forge as soon as possible.
In case you hadn't noticed, prices have gone up on pretty much everything in the last five years or so. Unfortunately, that can have an impact on traveling, from accommodations and attractions to food and gasoline costs. So when you do make vacation plans, it makes sense that you would want to get the most bang for your buck, especially when you're having to spend more bucks than you used to in the past.
When most folks hear the word “ziplining,” the first thing they probably imagine is someone attached to a long metal cable and flying through the air. And that is ziplining in a nutshell. It's definitely one of the most appealing aspects of this outdoor adventure and it's what distinguishes ziplining from other recreational endeavors like horseback riding or riding roller coasters or cow tipping.
If you haven't had a chance to visit us yet this year, there's still plenty of time left to schedule one of the most fun outdoor experiences to be had in the Great Smoky Mountains. In fact, we'll be running tours all the way through the fall season, and between the more moderate temperatures and autumnal colors to come, one might argue that our best days of the year have yet to arrive.
Many of our first-time customers at Smoky Mountain Ziplines have a lot of questions for us, especially if they've never been ziplining before. Some of their questions are about ziplining in general, while some are about the specific way we do things here at our attraction. So this week, we thought we'd cover some of the fundamental dos and don'ts of ziplining.
