Review & FAQ:
The Gatlinburg Skylift has been transporting tourists up the side of Crockett Mountain since the 1950s.
Built to resemble a ski-lift, this ride takes five to six minutes to climb the 1,800 foot mountain, and offers a rest area, refreshments, and a small gift shop at the observation area up top.
Visitors get a chance to slow down and really enjoy the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains; its blue hills, cloud-topped peaks, blue-green forests, and cold-water rivers.
Evening visitors can enjoy the Skylift as well, and have a chance to see Gatlinburg illuminated in the valley below.
