Adam was fantastic and a good local guide. The flight was smooth and the experience awesome! The headsets are kinda neat as they add to the experience and adventure. Would definitely recommend in the fall. Planning to fly again upon returning to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg next time!
Our Ridge Runner tour is an exciting flyover of the Chilhowee Mountain Range and Bluff Mountain. This scenic helicopter tour starts with a bird’s eye view of downtown Sevierville and the Tennessee Valley. But the mountains, ridges and valleys are the highlights of this flight.

Stop At: Scenic Helicopter Tours1949 Winfield Dunn Pkwy, Sevierville, TennesseeThe 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.Duration: 15 minutesAdditional Information
