Clayton's Landing at SkyPark

A Mountaintop Gathering Place

Clayton's Landing is the lively heart of the Gatlinburg SkyPark, the arrival plaza where guests step off the SkyLift into a wide brick terrace dotted with benches, tables and concession stands. The camera looks across the open square as people explore, rest and take in the elevated setting.

Gateway to the SkyBridge

From this landing visitors head toward the SkyBridge, one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in North America. The plaza serves as the crossroads of the attraction, linking scenic overlooks, the bridge entrance and the SkyLift station above downtown Gatlinburg.

Framed by the Great Smoky Mountains

Behind the terrace rise the forested slopes of the Great Smoky Mountains, giving every view a backdrop of dense Appalachian woodland. The combination of open-air plaza and surrounding ridgeline captures the mountaintop character that draws crowds to this iconic Tennessee attraction.
