About CLIMB Works Smoky Mountains
CLIMB Works operates two world-class zipline courses directly across the street from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance in Gatlinburg, earning a reputation as one of the most complete canopy adventure experiences in the Southeast. As a national leader in zipline design, installation, and operations, CLIMB Works has engineered every element of their courses to blend high-adrenaline thrills with stunning 360-degree mountain panoramas — including views of Mt. LeConte, the third-highest peak in the park.
The Mountaintop Zipline Tour sends guests soaring across six dual ziplines at over 2,000 feet of elevation, with four aerial bridges and a thrilling rappel drop to cap off the adventure. For those newer to ziplining, the Treetop Tour covers 5,100 feet of cable across nine separate lines — averaging 600 feet each with the longest reaching 900 feet — at a more easygoing pace that still delivers spectacular forest canopy views. Both tours begin with an exciting ATV ride to the launch point and include the option to rappel at the finish.
The CLIMB Works base camp at 155 Branam Hollow Road sits just moments from downtown Gatlinburg, making it an easy add-on to any Smokies vacation. Group packages and combo deals with nearby rafting outfitters let visitors stack multiple adventures into a single day, and the professionally trained guide team handles all equipment hookups and safety briefings so first-timers feel confident from the very first platform. Whether you choose the high-altitude Mountaintop or the forested Treetop route, every tour delivers a perspective of the Great Smoky Mountains that you simply cannot get from the ground.
