Tips and Getting There
Insider Tips
- Reserve ahead in summer and during leaf season. Guided mountain rides sell out on weekends well before walk ups arrive.
- Ask whether the route is guided or self drive and what the minimum driver age is. Policies vary a lot between operators.
- Go in the morning. Trails are cooler, less dusty, and the light is better for the ridge top photo stops.
Getting There and Parking
Most ATV and UTV outfitters are in the hills around Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, a little off the main Parkway. Build in extra drive time and follow the operator directions, as some trailheads are up winding mountain roads.
