this is really a wonderful way the get out in woods.... and fun too ... thank you for sharing with us.. Hope you and family have a blessed Easter... HE HAS RISEN
Nice, hope the utv part won’t be crazy expensive. Would be good for people with mobility issues. Looking like something we may want to try when we go later this fall. Thanks Ryan.
900 acres of trails and nature? Good, really good... 900 acres of more Mountain Coasters, Chair Lifts and Rental Cabin Clusters? Bad, really really bad. I hope Anakeesta keeps the area more natural, unfortunately that’s probably not the future plan.
Went out there on the 5th and met Brice one of the co-owners. Really cool guy, walked us around and showed us the jump line behind the lodge and the dual race line. Got to see a sneek peak at the map of all the trails and he said that the website should be updated with alot more in the next week or two. We go to PF a few times a year, this is gonna be a really cool addition to the area. Cant wait to check them out and go shred some trails.
Thanks for sharing this video, I am glad they are striving to keep most of the mountain "natural" as part of their goal. I can't wait until they open to try it out!
This looks amazing!! Great to have another outdoor thing for families to do. Can't wait to try it out! Would be nice if they had an area for picnics if you are doing the full day adventure pass.
That looks like that would be a very fun adventure. The roads sure look very rough and steep. I hope they do training on how to drive those in such tough terrain.
Thanks for the video Ryan,looks like a lot of fun to come. I am not the most outdoorsy person...but this does spark some interest. I will look forward to the next video. Would there be a way to elaborate on the different trails for each experience level and if possible a map rendering?
I understand that the people who were going to buy this land were going to totally wreck it, so yay it won't be completely ruined. But still, even a little bit wrecked makes me sad. Just the noise pollution alone ... feel bad for the wildlife living nearby.
Anakeesta did a lot to restore the mountain it was on after the 2016 fires. I am sure they are keeping land & animals in mind as I have heard the owners speak highly or preserving & protecting wildlife & habitat.

So excited for this park to open! QQQ: Are there any waterfalls on the property? Perhaps along the future hiking trails. Will there be water refill stations or at least a station at the main building for water bottle/water bladder filling? Are the future hiking trails going to be pet friendly? Will the have a snack bar for lunch options for people who want to spend the better part of the day? Will they have picnic table area so families can save funds and bring in their own food? I do hope this stays a natural attraction vs more mountain coasters like some of the other commenters. We’ve been going to the pigeon forge area a dozen or more years and have never ridden a coster or played putt putt.
Looks like it's gonna be a cool place to go to. I do have a question: On the paths where there are steep drop offs where someone could go over the edge and plummet down the side of the steep mountain sides, are there going to be any guardrails added to protect the guests from any accidents?
I am sure they are going to put measures in place to keep people from doing things to hurt themselves. There is still a bit more construction to occur. I hope to go back & do a more detailed tour when it is closer to completion!
It saddens me to see this coming into our community. We built our home here for the peace, serenity and natural beauty of the area. Now with those who only care about their bottom line, comes the traffic, noise pollution and the displacement of wildlife. I guess it’s true in this case as in many others, it’s all about the dollar!
Looks fun until someone gets hurt really bad or worse. I hope it does not go the way of the helicopter tours. But Murphy’s Law looks like it will be in play here.
The people that were looking at this property before this were going to build condos and tons of cabins on it, so I am stoked that it was bought by a company with the intent to leave most of it natural, and get some people that otherwise wouldn't enjoy the outdoors.
Sounds wonderful, except when developers and investors say the three word, As of Now......."As of Now" we don't have future development plans like buildings, structures or Cabins.

Thanks Sandra, you too! He is risen indeed!
2,000 more. So excited for your family. ❤
Thanks Curtis Family!

We will do our best to outline the pricing on our next video here at Anakeesta's Wildside!

Why are you hating? I love this and I’m sure many other people do. If you wanna live in untouched nature go to the middle of Utah 😂

Nice, I plan to do another video of this place later this month! Hopefully on a bike with an action camera!

I’ll check out food options/picnic areas on a future video here, thanks Sandra!
This is really something different it will look really beautiful in the Fall with all the change of colors.
👍
Awesome, can’t wait to get there 2025 for a WildSide UTV tour. Thanks for the sneak peek.
Our pleasure Duane & Pete!
Looking forward to seeing it in the future
We will try to share another video ASAP!
That looks like that would be a very fun adventure. The roads sure look very rough and steep. I hope they do training on how to drive those in such tough terrain.
I am sure they will have it set up upon completion to keep people as safe as possible & account for someone who tries to do things too risky.
Thanks for the video Ryan,looks like a lot of fun to come. I am not the most outdoorsy person...but this does spark some interest. I will look forward to the next video. Would there be a way to elaborate on the different trails for each experience level and if possible a map rendering?
Our pleasure John! I would love to add a more detailed map if it is available on the next video, thanks!

I love this video! It looks like a great place to make family memories! I can't wait for it to open!
Glad you enjoyed it Rhonda!
Well, nor impressed with all the removal of forest

I’m curious about their safety plan. What if a mountain biker falls and needs medical assistance?
Great question, I will do my best to cover that on our next video here!

Looking foward to this!
Thank you.

@@AdventureIsOutThere Agreed. I'll be watching for another updated video about the place.

Can we bring our personal rzr?
Couldn't even make it to the top. I guess they still have a lot of work to do.
Any Promo code available
Besides UTV, will they have ATV tours? Looking forward to coming there in the fall.
I haven't heard them mention ATV, but could add them in the future. Hope you have a great time in the fall!
I'm sorry I saw. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking because I'm looking for one just like that in that translation.
Looks fun until someone gets hurt really bad or worse. I hope it does not go the way of the helicopter tours. But Murphy’s Law looks like it will be in play here.
There is always a risk when you get on a bike. I am sure they will have waivers for people to sign & safety procedures in place.
I would definitely do this. What is their anticipated opening date?
They are aiming to open in July around Independence Day or sooner if they can.
The picture you posted on your Facebook page, is that your Bible in the picture? It's nice. What translation do you prefer to read?
Yes, ESV or NASB95.
I hate to bother you again but I was wondering what translation is that Bible.
I responded here & FB. ESV.
It's Disappointing you can't bring your own sxs
I’m sorry, but I can’t like this video. As an environmentalist..all I see is more destruction and a larger carbon footprint 👎

I can see this being popular with daredevils, I’ll stick to a Cades cove bike ride🤣
