EXPERIENCE THE HAWK SKYLIFT IN WEARS VALLEY TN!

[@beverlysmith2407]

Love Wears Valley! It was named after my great-grandfather four generations back, Col Samuel Wear. Thank you for the beautiful tour of Hawk Skylift.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@meltcmelinda4012]

What would we do without you, Karen and Mike, always thinking about us at home, some who will not be able to go all these beautiful places or being able to plan a trip to the mountains in the future. It was so beautiful just to ride and then be quiet and sit and enjoy the views. What more can one ask on a day the Lord gave to us to share and enjoy. Thanks again for all you do and always giving to the community. God Bless,

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for this kind comment Mel. God bless!!

[@jeffdickens7019]

People like y'all make it good for people that will never get to see these places that y'all show keep up the good work God bless

[@FridaysForever]

We enjoy these adventures and hope to continue filming here in East Tn. God bless!!

One tends to forget how pretty the area is until your away for sometime. Born in Maryville but raised in the Valley until I was 14, then back to Maryville. We had a home about 1 mile from the Blount county line on 30 acres. I doubt that I could hardly afford 1 of those acres now. I've lived in 9 other states due to work, but only one other was as beautiful but in a different way. That was when I lived on the York River in Virginia with Williamsburg just up the parkway. Sure plan to ride the Hawk and horse's when I get back to the area. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.

[@sharonwilson2450]

I searched your videos to see if you went here. We're thinking of visiting here when we go back to Gatlinburg in September 23. Thanks Karen and Mike!

[@mrsc99]

I guess I'm just a little bit prejudice, but......there is no place on Gods green earth that is more beautiful than the mountains and hills of east Tennessee. 😉💕 We're looking forward to checking this place out next time. 👍👍

[@FridaysForever]

We agree!!

[@theblankfamilyadventures1059]

We just went up on the chair lift when we were there on Wednesday, September 29th and absolutely enjoyed it. We also got a coupon in the general store for buy one ride get a ride free!! The ladies in the general store were very sweet. Thanks for sharing! We love your channel and your journal We purchased from Amazon...great idea..Blessings, The Blanks 😊

[@FridaysForever]

So good to hear you enjoyed it too! Thank you so much for purchasing our Journal we appreciate it and thankful it is helpful.

[@catladylife]

We were there in August shortly after they first opened and wanted to go back and try it again. We were up there this week. Wish they leaves a change more looks like we missed the peak by several days. We didn't know about the coupon check with the store and they had the buy one get one free tickets

[@olafpamela]

[@FridaysForever]

She was a hoot! We really enjoyed talking with them. Thanks for watching.

[@jefffrost982]

Getting better each time.

[@michelb.8953]

This isn't the first time seeing this place, but I enjoy it every time I see it on video. I hope I continue to see videos on them to follow their progress. I liked the family story of the business. I used to live in Maryville so I knew the places he was talking about. Thanks for another adventure.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for watching and it's our pleasure.

[@mikemurphy5158]

Looks really cool!! Definitely have to go next time we head up there. Thanks for your videos!!

Thanks so much for watching Mike. Our pleasure.

[@shirleymack8651]

It looks just beautiful there. I would love to ride that. Hopefully in the springtime when we visit the Smokys. There really are a lot of beautiful horses there. Thank you for the ride .

[@FridaysForever]

We really enjoyed it Shirley. Hope you can visit in the Spring.

[@catladylife]

I was up there back in August when they had just opened. I didn't know about the coupons at the store we didn't go to the store until afterwards. So this time when we were there this week we got the discount coupon at the store. For me, it's the perfect combination of Sunny areas and shaded areas on the ride up. Not like Anakeesta, where I thought I was going to have a heat stroke back in August sitting in the direct sun so long. We have stayed in Townsend a couple times now and discovered we really like the quieter side of the Smokies.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[@jerryrice8860]

On our list of must-do's for next Spring. Planning on eating at Elvira's also. Thanks for the video - looks like a restful ride. ✝️😊

[@FridaysForever]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@1CathyHendrix]

We really need to check the Wears Valley...Townsend area out next time. We have said for years that we were...but always manage to run out of time. The folks running that chair lift are super friendly....as were the folks at the top. Going to make it a point to do this! Have ya'll ever been to Little Switzerland? It's just off the Blue Ridge Pkwy. in N.C. That area just keeps growing and it's absolutely beautiful. If you have not been...I really think ya'll would like it.

[@FridaysForever]

You will enjoy the slower pace and beauty. We have been to Little Switzerland and have a video in our library.

[@jimwinter3181]

I can't believe you SpLIT a Moon Pie. Spend some___$$$$!!!!

[@FridaysForever]

They are free Jim!

[@bradlitchford476]

Hey Mike and Karen, great video and somewhere the wife and I will want to visit. I may have missed it but do you have an idea of how much the horses are to ride? Thanks for continuing on with the great vids and stories.

[@mikeanderson7165]

That’s so cool. Hopefully we get to ride it. Soon. Lord willing

[@FridaysForever]

You will enjoy the peace and quiet.

[@jessicamccain1000]

We’ll be up that way from Alabama the last week in October, staying at the Island. I’m old and in bad shape, but I think I could ride this chair lift!!! Thanks for showing us, it was quite enjoyable going up there with you, and even seeing some leaves! Keep up the good work, you’re a joy to watch.1

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much for this kind comment. We think you will be fine on the chairlift.

[@shinybrightsouth1585]

We drove right by in July and didn’t realize it was there. Heard a little bit about it, and looking forward to checking it out. Looks peaceful!

Hey 👋

[@Julie-ms9ss]

That’s a nice place. If you get tired of the crowds and waiting lines, you can go up there and have a seat in the barn and listen to the quiet. Good interview with the owners. They’re very friendly. Do you guys ride horses ? I’m wondering what the rides cost and is it by hour or by the length of the trail ? Thanks for showing us another fun place in your neck of the woods. 💕

[@FridaysForever]

At least for now it's quiet but very friendly owners so true. We don't ride horses but it sure looks fun. Sorry we don't know the price but it's probably online. Our pleasure as always Julie.
