Default there last week

All in the area south of Gatlinberg, cherahola highway (165), 64/28/276 through the falls areas, maggie valley for wheels through time museum, 441 toward Gatlinberg and as much of the blueridge as you care to take. many ride maps in the area to grab or google maps and pick your curvy road. Look for a lost harley key around Maggie Valley if you would.

Default Foothills Parkway

Just got back from the gap. Every road down there is great. My must hits everytime I go down are moonshine run (28), the dragon, foothills parkway (best road I've been on down there, but watch out for rangers). Just hit a new one this trip it was intense Roaring fork in gatlinberg. It small and short, but definitely technical. Stay out of the center and don't get too comfortable.

Agreed. If there's a line at the gate turn around find another road though.

Take a ride up Clingmans dome.. We rode it 3 years ago started out in short sleeves, over 1/2 way up stopped and put on the leathers it began sleet and snow(that was the middle of Oct.). When we started back down it was all gone lots of sun,great ride as are the others listed. Ride Safe
