Day 1 Tail of Dragon and Cherohala Loop, when you get to end of Cherohala there's a small convenience store to stop :

Day 2 go thru Cherokee and up and over the Smokey Mountain National Park into Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge then over to Townsend on 321 and then the Foothills Parkway will put you at top of the Dragon so you can ride it backwards.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but going thru the tunnel, into Middlesboro,Ky, there is a park, with the pinnacle, (stand in Va. Tenn. Ky. ) with a look out over the gap,
