[@brworthey]

I watch a few travel blogs but I really love watching yours. My wife and I watched all the time before she passed away. You are such an amazing couple!

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much Brian!

[@angeladaniels9724]

I always hit thumbs up first! Warm and classy as always! Brings smiles to watch your work! We were there in August for a week but we did not do Anakeesta.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much!

[@meltcmelinda4012]

I see by the comments everyone liked something different about Anakeesta. My favorite was sitting and drinking that wonderful lemonade and the views set it off for the entire trip on the mountain, fittng for the name Anakeesta, “the place of high ground” in the Cherokee language. Thanks for taking us along, God bless and stay safe. All my Love from NC

[@FridaysForever]

We love this lemonade! We appreciate your kind comments and enjoy reading them. God bless!!

Anakeesta is my favorite place to visit when I come to the area. We had season passes. I love sitting in the rocking chairs to view the mountains! I love Willow Man. I love the Heart Photo opp. I love the swings. I love the Vista tower. The whole place is beautiful! Always clean. Yes, the Treetop canopy walk is a favorite also! I miss Anakeesta!! I haven’t been there since mid August! Thank you for taking us along so I could see my favorite place once again! 💖

[@piecesofmebychrystal1559]

I love Anakeesta. We didn't go up this summer when we were there because we just had so much other stuff going on. They've built it up a lot in the two years since we've been up there.

[@FridaysForever]

It’s hard to get everything in during one trip. It has grown a lot.

[@michaelmerck7576]

I liked that treetop walk

[@wesballard7602]

WONDERFUL!!!! Y'all are great at these episodes! Amazing Channel... you know we Love Yuns!!! LOL

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much 😀

[@courtneystevens6887]

Awesome video! We love Anakeesta! There’s some spectacular views from up there! 😍 I didn’t know they had Bill’s Lemonade there too…that’s good to know. When we were there in August, a storm rolled in and we had to take the Ridge Rambler back down the mountain due to lightning. Just glad there’s an alternate way back down when the weather is bad.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much for sharing Courtney!

[@courtneystevens6887]

@@FridaysForever You’re welcome!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

The shop by the tower in a good idea. Now you can get something to drink up there. Nice they added the chairs and shade there too. We enjoyed going up the tower with you guys. Wonder if I could get Pearl on those glass panels.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much! We believe Pearl can do it!

[@garylipsey3552]

Beautiful views. We have not been to Anakeesta yet, but looks like it is worth a visit.

Thanks so much Marc.

[@gunlover067]

Wow i was just at Anakeesta in march and they have added a lot especially up by the tower and the first restaurant on the right when you get to the top on the right is a place that serves beer and they have awesome prime rib and mac and cheese and slaw . when i was there with my grand babies they were in strollers and not kid friendly for ones in a stroller with all the steps especially up to the tower . one security personnel told me they was working to make it better for families with kids in strollers but an awesome place. Next time just myself and my wife since my kids are grown lol 😂👍👍

Couldn't help getting tickled at Karen. During the treetop walk..when her foot hit a bridge...her speed increased until she hit the solid decks...lol. She didn't slow down for anything. LOL!

Haven't been to Gatlinburg in a while , so this is a fairly new place I'm guessing. Time for the wife and myself to take a road trip !!

[@chriscourson2824]

it's all the rage, but an over priced tourist trap in my opinion!

[@FridaysForever]

Nothing like the Smokies!

Thanks so much Tawna! Our pleasure and we hope your week is great too.

[@jaymejohnson2375]

The last time I was up there the man working at one of the shops said they sold shoes because People lose flip flops on the chair lift! Lol don't know if that's true but I guess you have to have shoes, so they've got ya!! I'm guessing he was messing with me! 🤣🤣 love your videos and Karen, you always look so beautiful!!

[@taradalmatianshaver6828]

I have seen a lot of lost shoes while riding up and down the chair lift. 🤣🤣

[@FridaysForever]

We are sure people drop shoes as we see them from time to tome.

[@lawrencebeebe8532]

They got a lot done in 3 years they just started building the only thing they had was Bridges zip lines and the two roach coaches

[@FridaysForever]

Yes, it's pretty amazing how much has been done.

[@aventurasconjenni]

Great... how long it takes to go all over the park? I'm planning to go around 3pm and then stay until night.

A couple of hours not counting chair lift ride. Have fun!

Do they stop the chair lifts for older people to get off? I am worried about falling due to health and stability issues.
