What is a Canopy Tour?

Canopy Tours started back in the rainforests of Costa Rica in the 1970s and provided a way to study the rich canopy biodiversity. While Canopy Tours today offer a little more thrill and excitement we still try to constantly teach, protect, and learn more about nature and our surroundings.

While there are many different definitions for a Zip Line Canopy Tour out there, here's a glimpse into the ultimate treetop zip line adventure known as CLIMB Works Canopy here in Gatlinburg, TN…

Unlike most of the Zip Lines you see around the Smoky Mountains, we actually take you where the birds hang out high in the treetops. From the first step onto our beautifully constructed sky bridges until you zip onto the last treehouse platform your feet will never touch the forest floor throughout our whole 2 ½ hour treetop zip line adventure. That's the first thing that makes CLIMB Works Canopy so unique, but we haven't even told you the best part yet…

During that 2 ½ hour treetop adventure you'll get to soar high above the forest canopy on 9 unique zip line adventures that average over 700', flying well over a mile over diverse terrain, cross 3 sky bridges, and just when you think it couldn't get any better we throw in one last surprise adventure at the end. With the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in our backyard our location is unmatched to take in breathtaking views of Mt. LeConte, Greenbrier Pinnacle, and all the beauty of the Smokies. While traversing the treetops over mountain brooks, streams, native wildflower, blooming rhodendrens, mountain laurel, diverse tree species, and native wildlife you will see the Smokies in a way you never thought possible! While definitely satisfying your adventurous side, you'll also get to learn about the complex eco-system and rich history that makes the Smoky Mountains so unique and incredible.

Our promise to you is an adventure of a lifetime, but our hope for you is a greater love and respect for the beauty around and within us.
