Pigeon Forge: Newfound Gap Smoky Mountains Jeep Tour｜United States

Head into the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park on a guided Newfound Gap Jeep tour departing from Pigeon Forge. This 3-hour scenic adventure is designed for travelers who want big viewpoints, seasonal mountain beauty, and heritage storytelling—without the effort of a long hike.

Ride in an all-terrain vehicle with a knowledgeable local guide who shares the Smokies’ natural and cultural history as you travel through Gatlinburg and deeper into the park. Newfound Gap is the tour’s star attraction, known for its wide-open panoramic perspective across layered ridgelines. Each season brings a different look: spring wildflowers, summer’s rolling green views, fall’s vivid colors, and winter’s dramatic, leaf-free mountain contours.

At Newfound Gap—nearly a mile above sea level—you’ll stand near the border between Tennessee and North Carolina and see a portion of the legendary Appalachian Trail. You’ll also visit the Rockefeller Memorial, the site associated with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Great Smoky Mountains National Park dedication on September 2, 1940.

Expect multiple photo opportunities and plenty of time to take in the views. The tour concludes with a fun, thrilling ride back to base, guided by a professional driver who keeps the experience comfortable and engaging for all ages.
