Wears Valley Zipline Adventures
Ziplines were introduced to the Smokies in the early 2010s and remain one of the more exciting and unique attractions that you and your group can enjoy while staying in or near Wears Valley. A zipline is essentially a ride where you are secured to a pulley on an extremely long (and strong) rope that gives you the feeling of flying over the scenery with no car, cart or any anything around you except for the pulley mechanism carrying you across the ropes.
It’s the closest you get to flying and seeing the Smokies as only the birds saw it previously without having to go through the pain of growing wings and hollowing your bone structure!
