Terrifying Road To Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- While traveling down south, i needed to make my way from Gatlinburg, Tn to North Carolina. In between those two areas is a steep, twisty road that goes up and over the Smoky Mountains. Being from Pennsylvania, we typically dont have many roads like that here. So i thought i'd share my ride up to the top and show you some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see. Enjoy

One word.....'Majestic' !!!!
Been driving Tn/NC mountain roads for 45 years.
Hi have a question if you don't mind . We are going to be driving from IL to Myrtle Beach. Is there another way to get there beside taking this road through the mountains? Flying is not an option either. After watching this video looks Amazing but to many turns and twist for my liking. Is this road scarey then the Needles Highway in SD? Thank you 😊
We love our Smokey Mountains here in Tennessee! They are beautiful!😊
I agree
What road is this ?
Absolutely beautiful. A place I will probably never get to see in real life.Thanks for sharing
Nothing scary about it. You must live in flat lands & no curves. I love it.
Not quite, but as i said in the video. If you're a local and accustomed to it, its no problem. Driving it while snow covered is a whole different experience on a dry sunny day.
@@JPVideos81 I have been on that mountain in all kinds of weather. The hills in PA is almost like driving on flat land. Very nice rolling hills, but not mountains.
@@JPVideos81 Gotcha. It is beautiful there & I have driven it, but not in the snow, I'll stay home in cajun country...lol
I'm from Michigan. I'm not used to windy, cliff hanging roads.
What road is this?
I left Gatlinburg one day in late November driving over to Cherokee, NC in my BMW Roadster. It was 50 degrees and sunshine in Gatlinburg. Somewhere around 3500 ft. altitude we started seeing snow on the ground. We rounded a curve at about 4500 ft. altitude and snow and ice was covering the road. At 5000 ft. it was a white out, the road was impassable and my traction control was going crazy! I turned and came back down to Gatlinburg. When we got just about to the Welcome Center there was a Ranger closing the road!!
Sounds like my first encounter back in February.
Love this drive. Another drive that has amazing views is the Foothills Parkway. The Tail of the Dragon is more winding, sharp curves, very popular with motorcycles and sports cars. I think the Dragon has over 300 curves in 11 miles.
😲
❤My home away from home❤ ... Love everything about Tennessee!
💙
Smokey Mountains are the best I went 3 times already can’t wait to summer but gonna have to wait a couple of months. I think I have drove by that road before to go to a lake those views are soooo beautiful
Its my new favorite place to visit
Virginia has these types of roads too going over the mountains. The switchbacks are quite amazing. Especially in a 26,000 GVW roll back. :)
Was there first week on June. Enjoyed the beautiful Smokey Mountains
That stone type stage is also where President Franklin Roosevelt gave a speech to dedicate the National Park!
That was an amazing video, the scenery was absolutely spectacular, Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍👍👍

Nice video. Check out Maggie Valley area if your around it. You'll be driving in the clouds there.
Maggie Valley is wonderful. So is Transylvania!
So beautiful to stand there and look at the mountains
From NC. Those switch back turns will get you. Did them in a suburban! Wow. White knuckle driving!
😲
You are in my neck of the woods. I live very close to there. And you are close to the Cherokee reservation where my family are from. Great video ❤💯
I have another video coming out with more of the locations you mentioned.
@@JPVideos81 I will be looking forward to seeing them 💯💙 it really is beautiful here.
I absolutely Love the Mountains! The WV turnpike has some really scary turns and tunnels. The lower part of the turnpike going into Va. The mountains are absolutely gorgeous there also.
Thanks for sharing this...I Love the mountains!!
Breath taking! My favorite vacation spot is in the mountains. 🏔.
The background scenery with you in the picture is perfectly priceless 💗 That would be a great picture. You could put it on refrigerator magnets and t-shirts and canvas bags for people to buy.
The drive down the mountain from Estes Park in CO petrified me. It is 100 times worse than this one.
I second this
Beautiful. I love it. All my family is from Tenn
OMWord that is one hell of a STUNNING landscape. Absolutely AWESOME. So beautifully kept, no wonder its popular. ❤🌷❤
It's amazing to see in person. So breathtaking.
TN mountains for life 💕
I am a Texan and I love Texas. However, I am dying to move to Tennessee. I have been looking at cabins in the mountains. My heart just keeps pulling that way. So beautiful.
Id love to move there too. Just dont know if i can handle the heat.
Holy smokes😯...beautiful but I would be scared to travel that road at night or in inclement weather!! Lord that's AMAZING but very dangerous!
Very lovley views😊 and if you think those roads are challenging, you should try som of Norway's roads.
Breathtaking veiws awesome road crazy beautiful areas thanks for chance to see it all.
Thank you for the amazing ride.. the scenery is simple gorgeous... really enjoyed the video ....♥️♥️
I love the smoky mountains. I was just up there for a week. Beautiful place.
Best pancakes in the world in Gatlinburg
Enjoyed the ride thru the mountains. One of my sisters hiked over 500 miles on the Appalachian Trail..another hiked over 700 ! I hiked almost a mile . Yay, Me !
Dont over do it barb 😁
So beautiful. What did the air smell like? I have been to the Colorado rockies years ago. The air was fresh and clean with a pine scent. Thank you for sharing!
Smelled fresh to me
The smokies are just one of the most beautiful areas around, I hope you went to Cades Cove. There are old churches, and old farm that you can look at.
Very beautiful,, I love the view,, thank you for sharing..
I don’t find the road scary. I am terrified of driving on mountain roads that are steep, with lots of curves and elevation but that one doesn’t look bad
Kinda reminds me of driving around Tahoe . Very beautiful
Oh I have driven that road many times. I have to drive because if I am a passenger I become horribly car sick. So I don't mind driving it at all. But I have never stopped there, now I know I need to next time. It is absolutely beautiful up there! Thank you so much for sharing that.
Definitely worth stopping
Im home sick and miss my mountain's u should try the blue ridge parkway so very beautiful...great video thanks for taking me home 😉 ✌
Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks
What a beautiful breath taken view
💙
The view was magnificent!!!
I have been going to the Smokies since I was a very small kid, 6 years old I am 68 now. Just about every year we would go and sometimes a couple -3 times a year. It is almost like my second home. If you have never been, you must go at least once. Well worth the trip. It is a little crowded in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so make reservations early. Last time we were there we rented a cabin. Fantastic trip. Yes, the road is curvy going up the mountain, just use low gear to keep your brakes from getting hot. GO and enjoy!!! So much to do and see. It is beautiful.
I live in North Carolina, and love the mountains
Beautiful place
😂😂 Try the interstate between Knoxville and Asheville. Same road only going 70 mph with semi trucks. Actually I think it's supposed to be 55 mph on that part. Sshhh
Beautiful, need to do that drive again.
That's I-40. It's all winding roads for at lest 25 miles. No straight away whatsoever. The Smoky Mountains do seem to be a bit more rugged than the mountains in Pennsylvania. Also the Smokies are higher mountains.
You mean the blue ridge parkway was there breathtaking
I-40. Can't go 70 on the pkwy
I-40 has also had many rockslides. It's insane, but when the parkway closes for snow, it's the only way across.
Beautiful scenery!!!
Great day for your drive JP. Nice views.
Beautiful scenery, thanks for taking us along for the ride. We live in a beautiful country- Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Same to you
Beautiful... always wanted to go there, never got to. Now I'm on oxygen , can't walk much. So keep showing me these places.🙂🙂🙂
Keep watching and ill keep sharing
i was there a few weeks ago on vacation. its beautiful country there.. i know where im moving when i retire !!
Wuss !!!! LOL !!!!! Thats a beautiful drive, not scary at all. You want scary, drive the NJ Turnpike ! Even though u were "terrified", I hope you enjoyed the beauty of where you were.
Been through there and it is breathtaking.
Excellent video JP. thanks for bringing us along. I live in Pennsylvania myself.
Thanks for watching
Beautiful, I only live 5 hrs away in west TN. I need to visit more
Thank you for this video! I have a vacation package up there and I will be driving alone and I was worried about driving through the mountains. Steep roads in rural places frighten me.
Enjoy your trip
Awesome video. Reminds me of the beautiful views in the White Mountains in NH.
I love driving roads like that, very soothing. My favorites are driving the roads from Banner Elk NC to Blowing Rock NC and the Blue Ridge Parkway to Little Switzerland. Occupies my mind and is zenlike.
Plissa Barrett my neck of the woods
Undoubtedly Tennessee is one of the most beautiful places on the Earth but I had a nightmare experience on those roads up there someday I might tell people about it but it is a beautiful view
Wow sounds like a great story!
Did you see sasquatch 😃 what happened?
Ok we're ready for the story now plz!!
Breathtakingly God's handy work. Lovely so beautiful it winds around doesn't it.? I am speechless about the sights. I can only imagine what the first people thought of it when they saw this for the first time. loved it thanks.
Always breezy and windy on top
My East Tennessee mountain home. 💕
That is nothing you should drive old 94 up into the mountains in San Diego California. Lol
Beautiful. I would love to live out there.
I've always felt so blessed that this southern girl was raised around those beautiful smoky mountains 🤠.... And yes if you're not use to driving in this area, the roads can be a real butt clincher at times!!! 😁 Thank you for the beautiful video and thank you for loving my homes true beauty. ❤
Thanks for the terminology lol 😁
@@JPVideos81 Lmbo!!
In Townsend park they still had some of the old cabins. Really awesome to see, watch out for the bears.
I loved to go for that drive, you are a terrific driver. Wonderful video and thank you for the drive. XO I forgot to tell you at 9:40 you can see the clouds move on live shot. Great photography. Keep safe sweetheart.
Thanks
scenery is incredible ...
If you haven't yet you should drive down highway 1 on the west coast. The most breathing taking visuals I've seen on a road trip, full stop. Pretty scary too at times
Great video.👍from Bosnia 🇧🇦
I love that road, but the last time I was on it I had a migraine & couldn't enjoy it. Thanks for the memories!
Beautiful day
Major geenage, beautiful drive, and stunning views. I've never been there, so thanks a lot for taking us along, JP!
You're welcome
the view is breath taking!!
Some of the best ive seen
i just drove up that mountain this past weekend scariest drive Ive ever had.
Absolutely facts I was there November 6 through the 12th those roads are not for the faint of heart
I'm in Tennessee right now fir vacation! And were staying near/in the smoky mountain region!
Awesome
@@sissylove2895 I Am!
Fellow PAian and I suggest you drive some of the roads in the Poe Valley, Little Grand Canyon and Reeds Gap area of PA...also Warren area. There are roads like that here😉. If you truly want a terrifying experience drive up Pikes Peak in Colorado, Beartooth Highway and Going to the Sun Road in Glacier Nat Park...my right foot started shaking on each of those roads from the height, narrowness and cliffs. Beautiful drive you shared. I hope to get to that area someday.
I'm trying to avoid the terrifying experiences lol
Those roads are terrifying. If we ever go there my gf is NOT driving.
😂
Beautiful!
I would not trade my memories of Smokey Mountain drives with my parents for anuthing in the world. I consider myself blessed to be a Tarheel because God truly shed His grace on us with gorgeous scenery.
If I drove that road I’d have to bring a spare pair of brown trousers 😳🤣
Shit just got real!
There's an awful lot of those roads in Colorado that are in the Smokey Mountain Range JPVideos, I've been on a few.
I have driven this scenic road many, many times. I love it. I do agree the slow pokes can be annoying.😤 But between Pigeon Forge TN and Cherokee NC it is well worth it. Thanks again JP for the memories.❤️
I now love this drive after having been on it 3 times now.
gorgeous views..thank you for sharing! My family and I drove thru the mtns in '99 when we moved to FL. Was lovely! We moved back to Midwest in 2016...
Beautiful area. The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia has a very scary drive as well.
Spectacular views, we have we have roads similar to that in New York State going to Bear Mountain is like that. great video.
Beautiful video! Thank You!
You're welcome
I drove that road last year and enjoyed it. You need to relax and just pay attention and you'll be fine. Too bad you found it terrifying.
Driving it in February while snow covered and night time makes it kinda hard to relax 😂
@@JPVideos81 Fair enough, I was there June of last year.
I had no idea about what to expect driving from Sevierville to Glatimburg today at 7pm...when we decided it was a good idea to go to the Believe it or not attractions at Glatimburg....I can tell, If you can avoid drive those curves at night please do it!! The look is awesome but in some points is hard to see at night....if I know about the type of road I would rater drive in the morning!! 😅
I’m going up to Asheville in August from Florida and I’m really looking forward to see The Smokey Mountains. 😃great video👍
Ty
beautiful ! drive !
Beautiful place for sure. Vacationed in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge many times.
"You guys ready for this?"
And I wasn't. We've got no shortage of natural beauty here in CA but that awesome mountain range full of every shade of green just took my breath away.
I love it so beautiful thank you
😊
I have driven it many times, I lived in Pigeon Forge for 5 years. I also lived in Townsend, the quiet side of the Smokes. A must see and drive thru park. I really miss it a lot.
Nice place to live
reminds me of a road going to powall twon and warbton a old logging rd in Victoria daylight looks ok but at night very scary great video
Beautiful area
Looked very easy..we drive canyons here and that looked very easy
Did your ears pop. And have you ever made it up to Cling man's dome ? Great trip have made it several times in my life time. Very beautiful .
Ears did more than once
Breathtaking. I never realized that was there. What an eye opener to find out about this and being from the east coast. One of the most spectacular views of scenery I've ever seen. Thank you.
You're welcome
Stunning beautiful! Thanks for sharing.. God bless.
Wow, you do get around! Beautiful area. I visited there as a kid with my parents. Thanks for renewing some good memories.
🙂
Oooohhh GODS CREATIONS so beautifully done, amen, thank you son for this video.
You're welcome
That road as I remember it and you videoed is a hold your breath ride. Just beautiful Jay.
