Cherohala Skyway Offers 36 Miles of Scenic Splendor
Published Feb 29, 2008

What a road!

The 36-mile Cherohala Skyway was completed in fall 1996 after being under construction for 34 years. Built at a cost of $100 million, it stretches from Robbinsville, N.C., to Tellico Plains, Tenn.

The road passes through the Cherokee and Nantahala national forests, hence the name Cherohala. It is known in motorcycle and sports car circles for its long, sweeping corners and scenic views.

Be sure to have enough gasoline to make the trek; there are no filling stations along the way.
