Default Just returned from Smokies
Just returned from a 5 day trip in Bryson City. Man I Hate coming back to the coast after riding up there.

Rode the dragon, cherola skyway, moonshiner 28. Accidentally stumbled across 209 from Maggie Valley to hot springs, this was my favorite.

Can't wait till next time..............

We ran out of time on our trip last weekend, we just got back Tuesday night last week. Did the Dragon, 28, Foothills and Blue Pkwy, but no time for Cherola - I was bummed, but good excuse to go back now!

Tell me about this 209 from MV to HotSprings? I aint nevah hoid of dis one! Inquiring minds - do tell, do tell!

209, east of maggie valley. goes north to hot springs. Beatiful scenery on the south end, lots of s curves and switchbacks closer to hot springs.
