The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
and family enjoyed a day at Anakeesta
576 Parkway
in Gatlinburg,TN 37738
October 30, 2021

The two RV Gypsies were also here in 2020. With the exception of Willow, the experience and pictures are quite different from these pictures and more informative, due to the fact that this time it was raining most of the day, so not too many pictures were taken. But the two RV Gypsies still enjoyed themselves regardless of the weather because they were with family.

go back to a previous page So to see the Anavista Tower, the Treetop Skywalk, and more in 2020 that is not included here, you may do so NOW. There will be a link at the BOTTOM of that page to take you back here. Otherwise, just continue to scroll down and enjoy the 2021 experience.
Entrance to Anakeesta

Admission to Anakeesta included all day park access and unlimited scenic rides via the enclosed Gondola, open chair lift, or Ridge Rambler (large road vehicle). On this date, the entry line was over an hour long because it was raining and people did not want to ride in the open chair lift. So the two RV Gypsies and family took the Ridge Rambler up the mountain.

Below: The Treetop Skywalk has over 880 feet of connected bridges (more than when the two RV Gypsies were here in 2020). The swinging bridges hang 40-60 feet in the air. At this time, it claims to be the longest tree-based skywalk in North America.
