If you want to see something go on the back roads between chimney rock and Cherokee

WNC is Miata/Lotus/Bike territory. So is most of east Tennessee. I'm sure there are other areas in the US, but OUR particular area seems particularly performance driving/riding orientated in an intense fashion. Roads aren't always fantastic (as in paved smooth, they have wear), and they aren't for idiot drivers/riders. If you can't drive/ride I pity you, lol. Another thing. If you drive really "spirited" you will wear and break your shit pretty quick, much more so than in other US places. I've always wanted to drive the Nürburgring, then one day it dawned upon me that I had a fair equivalent just a few miles from my house. Several homemade crosses erected for those that "pushed it" and all.

And it would also be helpful if you would put the name of the road on your caption

Dude I would love your video if I could see the scenery more. You are are driving so fast that no one can actually enjoy the video.

Don't know why I watched this whole video but, I did...

Hi We going to sugar mountain from miami Planing to stop at Columbia sc to purchase snow clothing. Any idea Wheter to go? Mall?

Good morning my kids want to go snow tubing im trying to avoid peak and curvy roads any safe back road

Is this beech mountain rd or beech mountain pkwy?

Your going around in circles on my dad's n mom's Tennessee, Decatur

Born and raised Floridian here and trying to plan a trip to see snow for the first time. I don’t have 4 wheel or all wheel drive, should I be concerned about driving this area next month(February 2023)?

Do you need chains on tires ?

exactly what this beach bum needed. a good drive through the hills to clear the head.

I've been there a few times...all the way thru the park from Townsend...a heluva drive...wonderful, but the downside of the mtns can burn your brakes if you aren't careful...I've seen wolves come up to the side of the road where there were trashcans at night

love that area. Cherokee to Maggie Valley is beautiful.

love the mountains. the snow made them more beautiful.

Thank you for the ride. Haven’t been on this road from Bat Cave to Asheville in a long time. From Rutherford County so I have been to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Enjoyed the scenery.

The Devil's Whip as it's known by motorcyclists. Wish I had a dollar for every time I made the Whip on my Harley. Probably my favorite of all.

Did this so many times when I lvd in kville

Some of my native ancestors came from western NC and migrated to Ky in the early 1800’s. Some settled in the Cumberland Plateaus. It’s beautiful country and well worth this scenic drive from the Natural Bridge State Park in the Daniel Boone National Forest in Eastern Ky to western NC. The Appalachia people have 3 races, one shared culture of decent mountain people.

I don't know which way is more fun, going up or down! Lots of fun in a Subaru Outback with stick shift. Used to drive this a couple times a month until covid. Thanks. FYI: Watch out for slick leaves in the fall...

a map would be helpful enjoyed it..

BEAUTIFUL 😍

Excellent looking video and beautiful, gorgeous country. Great ride on the back roads through Tennessee and the mountains, loved it. Thanx for posting this.

I've been there a long time ago, and my memory is hazy, but thanks to you I can travel once again.

Use to take our kids to Cherokee camping all the time at HAPPY HOLIDAY CAMPGROUND. It was a beautiful place. We loved it so much there. We even took our grandchildren there camping later on. Been to Maggie's Valley this route many times. Even took our kids to Ghost Town. The youngest freaked out on the chair lift. Took grandchildren to Santa Land a couple times. Good times, Greet memories.

Oh so nice to see different places like this. I wish there was a map on the screen showing us which area you are covering while driving.. just a suggestion … but its great. Thank you so much for your work, very nice! 👌

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thanks for the ride. Enjoyed it.

Thanks for the ride. Don’t know how I would have gotten over that mountain without you!!lol

Does not seem to be a pleasant drive, going too fast!

Driving a little too fast for camera!

The drive from Cherokee to Maggie Valley always seemed to take forever especially when we were kids.

Been years since I've seen these places. Passed right by where I got married. Nothing but bitter sweet memories there, almost gives me chills. Best thing around that county is the beautiful mountain scenery and fresh air, Other than that nothin but BS for miles and miles.

Soco Road route. Have friends and family in Cherokee. I lived in Maggie Valley for 13 years. Rode just about every backroad in the area on my motorcycle. Beautiful country. The bluegrass festival each year at Holiday Campground (Cherokee) was always a treat. As well as Larry's Jazz Festival at Saratoga's Cafe in Maggie Valley every year. Can't forget the yearly Ramp Festival and Folkmoot Festival in Waynesville either!

I LOVE NORTH CAROLINA AND THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS - Unfortunately, I have a fear of driving the mountains now! I love this! Seems like I'm driving along! Beautiful!

Traveled this road up the mountains many times and it never gets old. Once while going up the mountain from Cherokee with a group of Harleys, I was the tail gunner and a car tried to keep up with us. Right after the 3 lane stretch where you can pass, he hit the guard rail

At 2:15 you see Granny’s. Years before the casino Cherokee literally closed up in winter. Driving my Jeep from Boone to Georgia, I stopped in on what ended up being their last day before closing up. The staff kept trying to give away food because they were emptying the freezer. Not only did I get too much food but also a big to go plate at no charge.

I agree - silence is golden. Such a lovely, peaceful place.

I love the Smokey Mountains. Been going for year's. Was in Pigeon Forge week before last. But I'd lot's rather stay in the Cheerokees. It's more layed back. The Mountains are so beautiful. Hope to be there in October. ❤

If your ever in Maggie Valley stop by Country Vittles Family Style Restaurant their biscuits solved problems I didn’t know I had. Chicken fried steak is FIRE 🔥

Yeah you need a some good blues playing in the background or something, or talk about some of the places your passing...🤔

I see gas prices of $3.19 .when was this made ?

Done it Many times… always makes me sick

Thanks for the visit home. Graduated From Franklin, built homes for years in Cashiers and Highlands. Worked at Perry's water gardens as a teenager. 😊👍

Did you drive through Brasstown?

Soco is a good ride

Loved this vid, lived in Maggie for 35 yrs. And left 4and half yrs ago. Maggie turned into a haven of h…. Glad to be away. A few good people still are there but needs to be cleaned up!

You should have circled the parking lot at Ghost Town it used to be the top attraction there before they built the Cherokee casino and ruined the whole place

I have driven from Cherokee through Maggie valley and Asheville a lot of times I can drive from Cherokee to Maggie valley in around 20 minutes it's took you a lot longer it's almost like you are driving the same areas twice but I guess you're just enjoying the scenery

I love going there. Got some great trout fishing around and hunting gems threw the woods of the creek beds. Great place.
