Road Scenery: 
|
This
route is located very close to the Smokey
Mountain National Park. However, it will offer some
of the same breathtaking beauty of the park with out the
traffic and congestion. You'll drive in some beautiful lush
mountain scenery and will not be disappointed by the surroundings.

Road Quality:
|
|
Found
these roads a couple of years ago while riding the area.
Beautiful scenery, minimal traffic if any, wide variety
of very tight curves and sweepers.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
|
Take
this route for the scenery and twisty roads not the "roadside
amenities" as there really isn't much to do along the
way in terms of attractions and such. Be sure to fuel-up
in Newport....next fuel is not until Burnsville.

Newport, TN on highway 25, go until it "T's", turn
North on 208, follow it until it intersects 321 in Greeneville.
