Where do I start? What an awesome drive from Skyline Drive all the way to the Smoky Mountains ... through the magnificent BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY! It was in my bucket list and it sure delivered. The blue mountain ridges and colorful fall colors...seen in every overlook, just amazing! We stopped at Mabry Mill, the Blue Ridge Music Center, multiple overlooks, stopped and hiked the Natural Bridge trail and Graveyard Fields trail and saw a whole herd of elks in the Oconaluftee area! Ate real southern food and experienced their hospitality especially at Clyde’s in Waynesville. Didn’t get to explore Asheville and Biltmore Estate due to time constraint but will be coming back for it hopefully soon to see the rhododendrons blooming!

This scenic 36-mile road stretches from the mountains of North Carolina into the Tennessee backcountry.

Hidden gem in the Cherokee National Forest. Beautiful drive through the mountains, waterfalls, mountain streams, hiking, fishing and picnicking. Parts are rather curvy so beware because some like to speed through this area either on road rally’s or on motorcycles. There have been some horrific accidents because of that. Not to be missed if your in the area!!
3. Tail of the Dragon

Tail of the Dragon is a road (US 129) in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains that is a favorite of sports car and motorcycle enthusiasts. The road has an 11 mile stretch that has over 318 curves. This road is not for those that get motion sickness and I do not recommend driving it at night. There are many crashes on this road as auto and motorcycle drivers test themselves beyond their skill set. If you are looking for a road that will let you know exactly how good a driver you are - - - - this is your test track.
