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.

The flight was beautiful, all the leaves were changing colors and the mountains were perfect this time of year. Our pilot, Lindsey, was super knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and was a great pilot. Hopefully we’ll be back!

We had an awesome experience!!! Our boarding attendant Simon was very helpful and attentive and our pilot Ras was very engaging. He even made a special trip over our cabin just for us! Reasonably priced with a short wait time and very friendly staff! Would do it again!!!
