Highlights
- Scenic Helicopter Tours - The Ridge Runner is a definite crowd pleaser! Our Ridge Runner tour is a very exciting flight over the Chilhowee Mountain Range and Bluff Mountain. The flight starts with a birds eye view of downtown Sevierville and the Tennessee Valley. As the flight progresses you will be traveling over the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and the outskirts of Pigeon Forge and Waldens Creek. With excellent views of the Smoky Mountain National Park you round the back side of Bluff Mountain over 6,000 acres of undeveloped land. While flying low over the tree tops you cross over the top of Bluff mountain where views go from 100 feet to 80 miles in the blink of an eye, it truly is a sight to see! As you head back in you will follow the sheer glacier carved rock cliff side of Bluff Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain before heading over the beautiful rolling foothills back to the Scenic Heliport! This flight is 30 miles and averages 15 minutes.

The most exciting, beautiful way to see the Smoky Mountains is with Scenic Helicopter Tours. - Scenic Helicopter Tours is a top notch company that we will always use when we come down to the TN area. All the staff was a pleasure to be around and they were all excited for us and wanted to hear all about our helicopter ride. The beauty of seeing the Smoky Mountains this way is breathtaking. Cody was our pilot and he was amazing!!!! Everyone who wants to experience this should use Scenic Helicopter Tours. Highlight of our trip.
