Working at one Gatlinburg's most exciting mountaintop attractions, SkyLift Park transports guests from the heart of downtown Gatlinburg 1,800 feet above sea-level to the top of Crockett Mountain. Once on park, guests enjoy scenic views and a variety of retail, dining, and attractions, most notably, the record-breaking Gatlinburg Skybridge, North America's longest pedestrian cable bridge.
SkyLift Park has became one of the most popular attractions in Gatlinburg and part of the fabric of the community, and to thousands of visitors, the SkyLift has been a must-do part of their annual trips to Gatlinburg, with many making a tradition of riding the lift every year and collecting a new family photo from the photography service, which captures every chair. This age-old tradition lives on today. We invite you to join the story during your mountaintop internship!
