What To Expect

Scenic Helicopter Tours

The Ridge Runner is a definite crowd pleaser! Our Ridge Runner tour is a very exciting flight over the Chilhowee Mountain Range and Bluff Mountain. The flight starts with a birds eye view of downtown Sevierville and the Tennessee Valley. As the flight progresses you will be traveling over the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and the outskirts of Pigeon Forge and Waldens Creek. With excellent views of the Smoky Mountain National Park you round the back side of Bluff Mountain over 6,000 acres of undeveloped land. While flying low over the tree tops you cross over the top of Bluff mountain where views go from 100 feet to 80 miles in the blink of an eye, it truly is a sight to see! As you head back in you will follow the sheer glacier carved rock cliff side of Bluff Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain before heading over the beautiful rolling foothills back to the Scenic Heliport! This flight is 30 miles and averages 15 minutes.

My experience was ok. The staff was very friendly and quick. But I was disappointed on the tour itself. I expected to be in the mountains or at least right next to it because that’s what the “ridge runner” looked like it would do in the pictures and description. We barley got close to the mountain it was still in the distance. It lasted literally 10 minutes or less the whole thing . Getting up in the air and back to the landing. I was totally shocked it only lasted that long. I paid over $200 and only was in the air for 10 minutes lol. I did like the whole experience since I’ve never done it before. But I wasn’t happy with the price it was and length of tour. I feel that I could have went down the road for the $10 tour and probably got the same views.
