Cherohala Skyway, Tennessee, United States
5.0 (133 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Tellico Plains Scenic Drives
Beautiful drive and beautiful views
On a trip to see fall leaves, I learned about the Cherohala Skyway and how high above sea level this scenic drive goes. Since where I was staying had mostly green trees, I took the drive. The Cherohala Skyway has a bunch of scenic overlooks in both Tennessee and North Carolina. I recommend checking out as many overlooks as you possibly can. Each view is different from each overlook. If you take the drive during fall, you get to see all stages of fall during the 50 miles on the Cherohala Skyway. I’ll definitely be back on the Cherohala Skyway when I’m in town.

Unbelievable beauty
Incredible drive through the Cherokee National Forest. Lots of hiking, waterfalls and mountain streams. Areas of the skyway are rather curvy, so beware. Some like to speed through this area either in road rally’s or on motorcycle. Have seen several severe accidents. A MUST visit for all the beauty!

Fun Afternoon of Sightseeing
We have been meaning to make this drive for years and just got around to it. As you climb the mountain in your vehicle the outside temperature drops and so does your stress level. We stopped at every scenic overlook and took photos and read the historical signs. From the time we started the temperature was 92 degrees, when we reached the highest point it was 71 degrees. Loved the scenery!
