This overlook is on the bypass which will save you a lot of time if your heading to the smokie mountains from pigeon forge area. The overview of gatlinburg is best on clear days around sunset.

An awesome viewpoint overlooking the entire city of Gatlinburg with the mountains as a stunning backdrop. Amazing at sunrise! And getting there is the best shortcut in and out of busy Gatlinburg.

Its located on the Gatlinburg by pass .You can take the bypass coming from Pigeoun Forge and you will travel a couple of miles and is on the left side of the road. You can see downtown really well and also see the Tram & the skylift as well. The space needle is visable as well.
