Reviews Of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Aug 14, 2011
Chock full of great things to do; but our personal favorite is Newfound Gap Road (US Route 441's name through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park). It is a 33 mile scenic highway connecting Cherokee, North Carolina with Gatlinburg, Tennessee( some superb scenery on this trip). Average driving time is 55 minutes. Built to National Park Service standards, the road retains a grade of less than 5%, and is passable to all RV and bus traffic. Commercial vehicles are only allowed on park roads with permission. The Appalachin Trail is accessible and you can park and walk a portion of it.
