Every Fall, Mother Nature shows off her beauty, but folks at Sterling Springs Resort in Sevierville are excited about more than the fabulous foliage.

They are falling for the Smokies in the newest way to take in the view.

"We have 14 million visitors a year and no ziplines," says Sterling Webb, owner of Sterling Springs Resort and Wahoo Ziplines. "It seems to be such a natural fit."

After touring ziplines all over the world, Webb decided to build one in the Great Smoky Mountains.

"We have 6 ziplines ranging from 1000 feet to 1500 feet long and anywhere from 20 feet to 250 feet off the ground," Webb says.

Recently, cast members from the Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge dared to ride Wahoo Ziplines.

"It was great! My heart was pounding before I left, but once you're out there, you're out there," says Lester Rector.

Wahoo Ziplines is located at 1200 Matthews Hollow Road in Sevierville, TN. It is $98 per person. For more information call (865) 977-0332 or 866 977-0332.
