Default East Tennessee & North Carolina

Just got back from an 1100 mile trip to east Tennessee and North Carolina. We managed to get in a bunch of great motorcycle sections in one trip. We started and ended in Columbia, TN. In the 4 days we were out we road the Cherohala Skyway, The tail of the Dragon (twice), a section of the Moonshiner 28, visited Wheels Through Time Museum, rode The Rattler, a section of The Blue Ridge Parkway, Little Switzerland, Roan Mountain State Park, The Snake, and part of The Devils Triangle (near Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary).


The color ranged from still green, to beautiful, to no leaves, depending on which elevation we were on.

Sounds like you had a great time. Been in that area 4 times and can't wait to go back again.

It's a fantastic area to ride in, and there's plenty more for you to cover on the next trip.
