The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/gatlinburg\/gatlinburg-sky-lift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gatlinburg Sky Lift<\/a><\/strong> takes a parent and child seated together up to the scenic overlook on Crockett Mountain, with snacks and telescopes waiting, and one of the best panoramic views of Gatlinburg and the surrounding Smoky Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Another great ride is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/gatlinburg-mountain-coaster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster<\/a><\/strong>. Fun, safe and silent, you can even control your own speed in the single and double rider carts. Open year-round, this ride coasts downhill through mountain scenery and is fun for all ages.<\/p>\n<p>You can also hop aboard the 120-passenger <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/ober-gatlinburg-aerial-tram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aerial Tramway<\/a><\/strong>, which departs regularly from downtown Gatlinburg to Ober Gatlinburg Ski Area and Amusement Park. At Ober Gatlinburg, you can shop or go ice-skating in the indoor mall, visit the restaurant and lounge, or for more elevation take the ski lift up the mountain, in summer as well as in winter.<\/p>\n<h3>Mini Golf<\/h3>\n<p>Several indoor and outdoor miniature golf locations are available where kids can attempt to sink a putt on some very fanciful courses. Many of the venues include other games and activities such as bumper cars, laser tag and other theme games, and black light golf courses. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortfungatlinburg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Fort Fun<\/a> in Gatlinburg &#8211; just down the road from the Sky Lift &#8211; has an impressive \u201cUnder the Sea\u201d black light course, featuring dolphins, mermaids and maybe even a pirate ship.

You&#8217;ll learn the difference between the Little River, the Little Pigeon River, and Pigeon River! Each one is best for certain activities, and typically no experience is necessary. Take your choice of a thrilling trip through roaring whitewater or a gentle stream drifting downriver. The Smoky Mountain scenery is beautiful from the river and some of the water is lake-fed (cool in summer) and controlled-release, making it easier and safer to enjoy a thrilling time with the whole family. Swimming opportunities are plentiful.<\/p>\n<h3>Horseback Riding<\/h3>\n<p>The varied terrain of the Smokies offers excellent diversity for horse riding. You can explore scenery that you can&#8217;t drive to, that you would prefer not to hike to, and that simply views best from the back of a horse.\u00a0 Stables offer many trails to suit the whole family. You can find carriage rides, hay rides, singing cowboys and bonfire suppers.

From Michigan originally, I've been coming to the Smoky Mountains since I was a child, with family in Wears Valley. Summer fun for me is exploring the Cades Cove area, swimming in the creeks, and hiking Mount LeConte and many other trails. I love the Smoky Mountains.","url":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/author\/tonyperez\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5120"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5120"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8741,"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5120\/revisions\/8741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
