Beautiful Mountail scenery and mountain views as you drive over the Smokey mountains.

I wouldn't recommend this ride for a beginner as it has over 234 twists and turns.

If you ride from Lake Junaluska to Hot Springs, be sure to ride the extra 16 miles down 25-70 into Tennessee to the Bobarosa Saloon and Tent Camping USA. They have live music on weekends, there are camping sites and motel rooms too.
