    Another wonderful video! My family and I were just there last week. The views are breathtaking, especially from the tower. On a funny note, there was so many people in line for the Chondolas for the ride back down but we walked straight to the chair with no wait. My little one loved it but my wife and older daughter are afraid of heights and were rather weary on the chairlift.

    • @FridaysForever
      @FridaysForever  3 года назад +1

      Thank you David! Everyone should visit Anakeesta and see the mountains. If you are afraid of heights you could always take the truck ride up the mountain but we wanted the full experience.

    • @davidfontaine8619
      @davidfontaine8619 3 года назад

      Yes despite her fear, my wife was of the same mindset of having the full experience. I told her we'd take the truck if she wanted. I'd never pressure them into doing something they truly didn't want to. But after riding the Sky Wheel in Pigeon Forge, she wanted to brave the chairlift as best she could.

    Do you guys know how they chose the name for this place ?

    • @FridaysForever
      @FridaysForever  3 года назад +1

      It was so good Julie! Anakeesta is a Cherokee word referring to high ground, literally meaning “the place of the balsams.” ... We chose the name Anakeesta to capture the authentic Smokies heritage that our guests will experience among the treetops at the summit of Anakeesta Mountain.
