    Keegan's comment was the BEST. This was so powerful just watching it. I cannot imagine seeing it in person. The whole thing was great but a few of these shots were master class.

    Planning to go to Gatlinburg in a few months and have been to Anakeesta before. I ride the bus up to it and don't do the chair lifts. I am deathly afraid of heights. Hard to tell, is this on the ground paths at Anakeesta or is this out on the walking bridges where you are high above the ground? If it is the latter, I will have to pass I am afraid to walk on them even in the day time let alone in the dark. But I enjoy the scenic views of the area from up there. Hope someone can answer my question.

  • @loveonthespectrum3797

    Why advertise something that's completely sold out? You cannot get in. We based our entire 40th wedding anniversary trip around this place, even booking more days so we could do this and were turned away. When we complained we were met with "So what? We don't really know what we are doing but it's for sure going to be your loss, not ours". Cringe.

    • @SmokyMountainFamily
      @SmokyMountainFamily  Před rokem

      Hate to hear this about your anniversary. Not for sure if you are asking us why we featured this on our channel or why Anakeesta is advertising it? The reason we put it in our channel the same reason we feature anything on our channel- it’s an experience we had in the smokies and we document such experiences. Unfortunately, we have no knowledge of Anakeesta’s ticket sales. At any rate, we hope you still enjoyed your time in the Smokies! Thanks for watching.
