For guests at The Park Vista, not only do memorable adventures surround you, but so do unbelievable views.

Whether you’re out on a hike or going for a scenic drive, there are plenty of ways to take in the best views of Gatlinburg. 

Classic Overlooks & Viewpoints

Some of the best views are found at overlooks and viewpoints in Gatlinburg. The Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook is an easy-to-reach pull-off found along the Gatlinburg Bypass. Take in views of downtown backed by the Great Smoky Mountains. One of the most popular options is Kuwohi, which is the highest point in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There’s also Newfound Gap. Located along US-441, this is a fantastic place for sunrise photos. 

Hikes with Stunning Vistas

If you want to enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty before you even get to the main event, check out some of the hiking trails in town. The Alum Cave Trail is a popular hike with scenic views along the way and high-elevation points that allow you to see for miles. While it takes a bit of a hike to reach the top of Mount LeConte, it’s worth it when you look out and enjoy some of the best views in Gatlinburg from one of the tallest peaks in the Smokies.
