I miss that drive... I miss being physically able to travel any where... Tennessee was one of our most favorite we went to Dollywood almost every fall. But them days are long gone at least for now. One day God will work a miracle and I'll be well again. And I know the first trip will be down to Dollywood... Thank you kiids for sharing these videos they mean so much to me and other shut-ins.... Be blessed in Jesus name... BBE...
Its funny, my whole life (almost 60 years) has mostly been Cherokee to Gatlinburg. We always stayed in Cherokee & drove for a day to Gatlinburg. I was older before we started going to PF. We always counted on an hour minimum drive one way (minimal stops) on a good day. Different perspective.
You're correct, Will...that was the trailhead for the Kephart Prong Trail at 49:05. I've picked up my husband and hiking friends from there. We walked up a short ways the other day when we were there, May 25th, to the remnants of the old CCC camp. You guys hit the construction traffic just right. We sat in the same spot for 30 minutes that day...the traffic didn't move from either direction the whole time. Wish we were back up there this week...it always goes by too fast!
is there another way to Cherokee? can you go down I-40 further and cut back to Cherokee? or south somehow? i guess my question is there a way besides going over the mountain?
I love this video. Boy what a great way to just exhale and get your mind clear. Just go and enjoy what God has given to us the beauty and surenty of the Smokey Mountains.
Thanks for another Yellow Jeep Tour. We’ll be on our way down this time next week. It’s been way too long. Your vlogs have helped get us through the past year.
Thank u both for the video and commentary I really needed to know how scary of a drive it was b4 i drove there with my older motorhome don't think I will try it now.
@whataboutdawn we made it pretty good yesterday, ears popped few times and saw two black bears , but it was a overall good drive in my little fusion, it did better then I thought it would, but I could tell I was pushing it
Hello, watching this video brings backs good memories of our vacations down there. We always make that drive to Cherokee NC. Thanks for sharing this, made my Tuesday. Did you guys go to lunch there? William
My husband just asked me if I was going to sit here and watch y’all drive across, and I said absolutely! It might be the only time I can go through the Smokey’s without overheating (which seems to happen every trip we make to the SM). Thanks for taking us along!
Perfect drive, Dawn! Perfect length for my treadmill trip today. This is a drive I don’t do too often because my car likes to overheat on the hills. I saw my first wild turkey in the bypass years ago.
Dawn was thinking about the flint-stones lol She is the sweetest… I love her and her sense of humor. We love watching all the adventures y’all do and glad we can also see all the places… we love the Smokies! 😊
Beautiful drive. Everyone whom is not use to driving in the mountains really need to pay attention to the road arrows because it is really winey and can caught you not paying attention.

Just found Dawn's channel.
Having fun watching your videos.
Thanks Dawn!
Will, it sounds like you had a wonderful childhood.....getting to visit the smokies and travel, that is AWESOME !!!!!!!!
Like going over My Favorite is The Old Farm , well all of Cherokee is hope y’all go thru Cherokee 🍂🍂🎶❤️😊
I love listening to your conversation.....and the driving tour......love it!
Thanks 😊
That was a beautiful. I have always thought about taking that road to Cherokee but I assumed it was a lot longer. Something to do next trip.

Loved that drive!! Going to newfound gap for sure!!! 🙂💜👍
Loved the ride..beautiful video!
Called a pigtail. They have those on Iron Mountain Rd in South Dakota.
is there another way to Cherokee? can you go down I-40 further and cut back to Cherokee? or south somehow? i guess my question is there a way besides going over the mountain?
You can go to I 40
You need to visit Cataloochee if you haven’t been there yet. It’s an outdoor museum like Cades Cove is. It preserves another community.
ty Dawn and Will great drive!
This is my favorite road to drive!
I was in Cherokee last week. The elks comes out in the evening time. They are everywhere along the road
Just did this a week ago great ride.
Schools in Asheville North Carolina don’t get out till the 7th of June
We may stay in Cherokee next spring we come
This drive is my favorite thing to do in the Smokies, especially in the Fall or when the Rhododendrons are in bloom.
Beautiful, beautiful drive, guys. I felt I was riding along with you.
Just drove that same route just 4 days ago. I love to shop in Cherokee and spent a great day there.Beautiful views of the mountains along the way.
Hi from Wild Wonderful West Virginia Will ans Dawn. Love you guys. Keep up the great work
Few years back the whole harem were out in the field! Last year 2020 the big Indian had a mask on. Funny
Beautiful thank you. How about restroom?
So how does those big rigs get through these narrow curvy mountains. These roads look so dangerous even in a car
Be advisable to put your car in a lower gear to not wear out the brakes. Good video!
Enjoyed replay thanks 😊
Its been a while since I was there got friends that's lives not far from where u going
It also has alot to do with Elk crossing 😅
What an absolute beautiful drive…I hope to one day go visit and see that beauty in person 😊💕
Does anyone know the height of the tunnel or underpass and The Loop, we are a 45' Motorhome our height is 13'4 and help would be great!!!
I can give you a suggestion send a email to the Nactional Park and maybe ask if they know the height and width of the tunnles
Can you do it at night?
When you drive to Townsend from Pigeon Forge do you go over any mountains
Yes
I feel like I'm on the yellow jeep tour lol 😆😆 love it
Turkeys mate in March each year. Predators are raccoon, bears, hawks, crows ,coyote, snakes etc.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Awesome Dawn
This was wonderful Dawn. Thank you!!!
Dawn, thanks so much for taking us along with you. I enjoyed your drive video. Glad you got to see the elk. Keep up the great videos!

I love this video. Boy what a great way to just exhale and get your mind clear. Just go and enjoy what God has given to us the beauty and surenty of the Smokey Mountains.

I was just in Gatlinburg, could have drove to Cherokee, NC
Thank you for enjoying the drive to such a nice place that is hard to go because it is far away from here.
Thank u both for the video and commentary I really needed to know how scary of a drive it was b4 i drove there with my older motorhome don't think I will try it now.
It looks like I'm in a Jeep with you all
Thanks

We just crossed over and back this week. The construction added about an hour to our drive.
That’s a beautiful 😍 drive ! Can’t wait to be there this weekend!! I hope it’s not to hot 🥵 lol !
Love going to Cherokee it’s so pretty that’s the way we always go also . Hope to be virst soon . Have fun and be careful and stay safe
Loved the video Dawn! An idea for another video is a drive on River road to Cades Cove. That’s a beautiful drive as well!
This place is beautiful,been there with my wife 4 years ago.
I enjoyed the drive to Cherokee. It was such a pretty ride. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great week!
I would have loved it if you would have went on and showed some of the town and Indians stuff.
Thanks for taking us along on this beautiful drive. This is one of our favorite drives and your video made it like I was there again. Nice job.
Really like your new channel dawn...GB you both on this drive...

It's pretty steep but beautiful
@whataboutdawn we made it pretty good yesterday, ears popped few times and saw two black bears , but it was a overall good drive in my little fusion, it did better then I thought it would, but I could tell I was pushing it

We had lunch nothing special
I love this so much. Thank you for taking us along.
Holler back
I drove part of that today! Went up to Newfound Gap for some photos.
My husband just asked me if I was going to sit here and watch y’all drive across, and I said absolutely! It might be the only time I can go through the Smokey’s without overheating (which seems to happen every trip we make to the SM). Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks 😊
Have you ever made a video of the reservation? I'd love to see that
Beautiful and peaceful drive....🤗😊

Perfect drive, Dawn! Perfect length for my treadmill trip today. This is a drive I don’t do too often because my car likes to overheat on the hills. I saw my first wild turkey in the bypass years ago.

Are there any good places to eat over in Cherokee anymore? Grannys use to be over there but not sure if it still is ?
It's open but it was closed when we were there
I really enjoy that ride
Can you ride bicycles on the sugarland trail?
No
Beautiful, beautiful drive!
