Just made reservations for 8 days on Oct 19. I'm hoping the leaves turning will be in full display. Oh yes, we are taking the bike with us, planning on a lot of riding. Always open for suggestions.
Jack, I'm going to let my wife take all the pictures![]()
Nice shots Joe. Do you remember what the temps were?
On the Parkway in the high 30's low to mid 40's. In the valleys at gas stops, cook in your jacket...LOL
Lots to do and see there.
Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail.
321 from Gatlinburg to Cosby. Turn right at Cosby. 11 mls to where the road turns to gravel. Once you pass ground hog rd on your left, get ready for one of the most twisty roads this side of the Dragon. About 9 mls of fun to be had there. You can turn around because of the gravel or on to mount Sterling. The road becomes paved again on to interstate 40.
Turn left instead of right at Cosby will take you to the northern section foothills parkway. About a 6 mile section of that road.
Continue on 321 to Newport. Turn east on US 70 to Hot Springs. From there take 209 south back to interstate 40
Go over to Maggie Valley to- Wheels Through Time Museum. Motorcycles from all ages. Motorcycle engine chainsaws, airplanes, sawmills, and other amazing things.
Anywhere on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
276 from Waynesville to Brevard.
A lot more can also be found there.
