Visiting the Smoky Mountains in the Fall

Ziplining in the Smokies: A Thrilling Adventure Amidst Nature’s Beauty

Nestled within the captivating embrace of the Great Smoky Mountains, a unique adventure awaits: ziplining through the heart of this natural wonderland. The Smokies’ allure is well-known, but ziplining offers an entirely new lens through which to experience its grandeur.

Picture yourself suspended above the forest floor, gliding effortlessly between ancient trees. The rush of wind, the symphony of birdsong, and the panoramic views paint an unforgettable sensory masterpiece. Ziplining in the Smokies is not just an adventure – it’s a communion with nature.

Where Adrenaline Meets Awe

For the thrill-seekers, the Smokies’ ziplining options range from family-friendly courses to high-speed lines that quicken the pulse. These lines weave adventurers through the landscape, offering an adrenaline rush while ensuring every moment is savored.

Where to Zipline in the Smokies

There are many zipline options in the area to choose from. Our family recently had a blast ziplining with Legacy Mountain Ziplining. Their guides made us feel safe, but at the same time facilitated such a fun adventure for all of us. From grandparents to grandkids and everyone in between, we all loved our experience with them and highly recommend booking your zipline tour with them.


During a recent visit our family had @bear_waves_cabin we had a blast zipping through the mountains with @legacymountainziplines . We had a great experience and tons of fun! Check them out during your next stay at Bear Waves Smoky Mountain Pool Cabin!

In a recent visit to Bear Waves Smoky Mountain Pool Cabin we explored the area and local businesses. We stopped in a couple of the local wineries. At Cades Cove Cellars we snagged a couple super cute wine glasses for the cabin.

♥️Valentine’s Day in the Smoky Mountains♥️

Bear Waves would be a fun cabin for four to five couples to getaway from it all and have fun time. OR plan a Galentine’s getaway for your gal pal squad and have a blast! The perfect itinerary in my opinion for either group would be as follows…

1- Breakfast at The Apple Barn – eat the apple fritters!

2- Hike off said fritters with a morning hike in The Smoky Mountain National Park. Just check trail and road closings due to weather/season before you go!

3- Share a charcuterie picnic near one of the many romantic mountain streams.

4- Take a pottery class together! Liza Bach at Alewine Pottery in Wears Valley is doing pottery classes!

5- Shop the quaint stores in Gatlinburg, the Artist Loop, Wears Valley or the outlet malls in Pigeon Forge.

5- Stop in for wine and moonshine tastings at any of the local wineries and distilleries.

6- Grill steaks at the cabin on the porch.

7- Enjoy a relaxing soak in the private hot tub at the cabin.

8- Get a great night’s sleep at Bear Waves Smoky Mountain Cabin!
