The Great Smoky Mountains are rife with beautiful views and grand, naturally-inspired experiences. The Gatlinburg SkyBridge recently opened and claims the “Most Spectacular Experience in the Smokies,” and we just might have to agree. Located on the top of the famed SkyLift, it’s an experience you’ll truly never forget. Learn all about it below!
Gatlinburg is known as one of the most popular tourist hot spots in the state of Tennessee. It's a darling little town full of locally owned attractions that run the gamut of manmade entertainment, but it's what's just outside of town that really catches the eye: the Gatlinburg SkyBridge.
The bridge is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America and remains one of the most incredible experiences in the Great Smoky Mountains. Guests have the ability to walk the full 680 feet across at their own pace, taking in the beauty of the surrounding area.

The bridge itself is 140 feet high at its midpoint, and there are even glass panels scattered through the middle of the span so you can see down into the valley below. Gulp. There's nothing quite like it!
There's no other place in the Smokies to experience panoramic views quite like those from the Gatlinburg SkyBridge. The five-foot-wide walking path overlooks the entirety of Gatlinburg, with the swell of the mountains behind it. Make sure to bring your cameras and walk slowly!
Tickets can be purchased online, and each paid admission gives all-day access to the ticket holder both up and down the mountain. Visitors will have access to the SkyLift, SkyDeck, SkyCenter, and the famed SkyBridge.
Discounted tickets are available to seniors, locals, groups, military, and veterans.
