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...
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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! 😊

I'll be praying for you to get back on the road
@@whataboutdawn thank you ☺️❤️😘🤗

You can go to I 40
I was in Cherokee last week. The elks comes out in the evening time. They are everywhere along the road
Schools in Asheville North Carolina don’t get out till the 7th of June

Beautiful, beautiful drive, guys. I felt I was riding along with you.
This drive is my favorite thing to do in the Smokies, especially in the Fall or when the Rhododendrons are in bloom.
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
Like going over My Favorite is The Old Farm , well all of Cherokee is hope y’all go thru Cherokee 🍂🍂🎶❤️😊
Few years back the whole harem were out in the field! Last year 2020 the big Indian had a mask on. Funny
What an absolute beautiful drive…I hope to one day go visit and see that beauty in person 😊💕
Called a pigtail. They have those on Iron Mountain Rd in South Dakota.
I feel like I'm on the yellow jeep tour lol 😆😆 love it
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!
Beautiful thank you. How about restroom?
This was wonderful Dawn. Thank you!!!
I love the mountains.we thete every Nov.5th.
Enjoyed replay thanks 😊
It also has alot to do with Elk crossing 😅
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!
It looks like I'm in a Jeep with you all
Thanks
Your welcome
❤️❤️❤️
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
Just found Dawn's channel.
Having fun watching your videos.
Thanks Dawn!
Turkeys mate in March each year. Predators are raccoon, bears, hawks, crows ,coyote, snakes etc.
Thank you for sharing 😊
What about winter?
Loved watching this video!! We will be in Gatlinburg this September. Can not wait!! Thank you Dawn for sharing.
Will, it sounds like you had a wonderful childhood.....getting to visit the smokies and travel, that is AWESOME !!!!!!!!
Can you do it at night?
I was just in Gatlinburg, could have drove to Cherokee, NC
When you drive to Townsend from Pigeon Forge do you go over any mountains
Yes
Awesome Dawn
We just crossed over and back this week. The construction added about an hour to our drive.
Holler back
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.
Really like your new channel dawn...GB you both on this drive...

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.
Thank you for enjoying the drive to such a nice place that is hard to go because it is far away from here.
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.
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.
This place is beautiful,been there with my wife 4 years ago.
Where do you all live. I have folks in NC and Tennessee.
In Tennessee
Enjoyed the Trip and Views!! 🥰Linda
That’s a beautiful 😍 drive ! Can’t wait to be there this weekend!! I hope it’s not to hot 🥵 lol !

I love this so much. Thank you for taking us along.
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!
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.

Beautiful, beautiful drive!

Very pretty Ride
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
Can you ride bicycles on the sugarland trail?
No
Thank you
What can be done about the reflection on the windshield?
It's hard with the sun 🌞
Great video Dawn, love the drive
Thanks 😊
It was 90degrees today here
❤️❤️❤️
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.
Don't stop at Harrahs casino like we used to!😆
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! 😊
