Overview
Fly Over One of Sevier County’s Most Beautiful Areas—Wears Valley
This flight is dominated by spectacular mountain views from the very start! Upon departure, you will travel over historic downtown Sevierville with the Smoky Mountain National Park in the distance. After Sevierville, we continue over the rolling foothills of the Smoky Mountains and the Pigeon Forge Parkway before getting away from civilization over Pine Mountain. As you climb in altitude, you’ll follow the terrain up to the crest of Cove Mountain at the National Park boundary line where you’ll be met with spectacular views of the Wears Valley area.
