SkyLift Park – Relaxation High Above Gatlinburg
Experience the Smoky Mountains from New Heights at Gatlinburg SkyLift Park
While taking in the sweeping beauty of the Smoky Mountains from the ground is always memorable, Gatlinburg SkyLift Park offers a completely new perspective. This premier mountaintop destination allows visitors to enjoy panoramic views, unique attractions, and relaxing amenities—all from a vantage point high above the city of Gatlinburg.
A Scenic Ascent to Crockett Mountain
Since 1954, the SkyLift has transported guests on an 1,800-foot journey up to the top of Crockett Mountain. Over the decades, this iconic attraction has remained a favorite for both visitors and locals, offering stunning views and a peaceful, elevated escape. With recent additions, the experience now includes even more ways to take in the grandeur of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Walk Across North America’s Longest Pedestrian Suspension Bridge
Opened in 2019, the SkyBridge has quickly become a centerpiece of the park. Spanning 680 feet, it holds the title of the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America. As you cross, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding mountain landscape—perfect for photography or simply soaking in the moment.
Adding to the thrill, the bridge features glass-floor panels at its highest point, providing a dramatic glimpse of the valley below. For those who prefer to stay grounded, the SkyTrail—an alternative walking path around the basin—offers scenic views from solid terrain.
Relax at the SkyDeck and SkyCenter
Once at the summit, guests are invited to unwind and enjoy the facilities at SkyLift Park. The SkyDeck offers outdoor seating where you can relax and take in the vistas, while the SkyCenter provides indoor comfort with expansive windows, refreshments, and craft beverages. It’s the perfect setting to reflect on the views or share the experience with friends and family.
A Year-Round Destination
The park is open daily, with extended evening hours until after 9 PM, making it a great option for enjoying sunset views or the twinkling lights of Gatlinburg below. Seasonal highlights include live music events and special viewings for celebrations like the New Year’s Eve fireworks display.
Visiting in the fall offers a special reward, as the changing colors of the Smokies put on a spectacular display that draws photographers and nature lovers from across the region.
