The Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook is a pull-over spot on the Gatlinburg Bypass with astonishingly beautiful views of Gatlinburg itself, and of the Great Smoky Mountains that surround it.
The majestic mountain and valley views that the overlook affords makes it a popular place for photographers and for locals and visitors who come to view the stunning sunsets.
Lucky visitors may see bears and wild turkeys in the nearby landscape or in the parking lot itself. The Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook is a 15-30 minute drive from central Gatlinburg, depending on traffic, and is a free attraction.
