MAKING MORE MAGIC 💫
Anakeesta is thrilled to share a magical update from the mountaintop! Anakeesta is embarking on its most ambitious chapter yet with Making More Magic — a multi-year expansion that will bring new adventures, breathtaking experiences, and even more ways for guests to connect with the wonder of the Smoky Mountains. 🌄
This five-year, $100 million vision represents a bold step forward for Anakeesta. It’s not just about growing — it’s about reimagining what a mountaintop adventure can be. Guests can look forward to all-new attractions, immersive experiences, and enhanced spaces that celebrate the beauty, spirit, and creativity of the Smokies. ✨
The first phase launches in 2026 with a next-generation scenic lift, a completely reimagined Firefly Village, expanded Treetop Skywalk, and nighttime Firefly Experience — all designed to make every moment at Anakeesta more magical than ever. 🚡
From there, we’ll continue to grow, adding new thrills, flavors, and experiences that redefine mountain adventure and create memories for generations to come.
We’re excited to take this journey together and can’t wait to share updates as the story unfolds. 📖

It’s been a bear-y busy few days at Anakeesta! We have a new furry friend on the mountain and look how cute that baby is!
Black Bear Fact of the Day: Did you know bear cubs stay with their moms for up to two years, learning everything from climbing to catching their first snack?

There was a brief "snow burst" earlier today in Gatlinburg at @AnakeestaTN
It briefly accumulated on rooftops, grassy surfaces and the mulch before melting after is stopped.
More #snow to come in the #Smokies overnight with highest totals in the highest elevations.
