Be sure to bring your camera, as the views are beautiful at any time of year, making it one of the most photographed areas in Gatlinburg. There is no admission fee to access the overlook, which is located on the Gatlinburg Bypass that runs between the Gatlinburg Spur and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are 4 parking areas on the bypass where you can safely exit your vehicle and enjoy the views.

2. Gatlinburg Space Needle

Another place for the best views of the Smoky Mountains is at the top of the Gatlinburg Space Needle!

It features multiple scenic overlooks and a nearly 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain range, including Mt. LeConte! You can access the Firefly Village at Anakeesta by taking a Chondola ride to the top of the mountain, which is a unique fixed grip transportation system with enclosed gondolas and open-air chairs.
