Take a ride as we drive through Americas most visited park, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, from Cherokee North Carolina to Gatlinburg Tennessee. We also ride up to the high point of the Smokies, one of the most popular spots - Clingmans Dome, where there are absolutely no crowds. We will be the only people at the parking lot, trail and at the lookout! The reason Clingmans Dome is so dead, is because the road is closed during the winter, but is open to bicycles and hikers. So, we bike. I apologize in advance of my heavy breathing. Ascending over 2,000 feet in 7 miles gave me a good workout.
I hope you enjoy the video. If so, please consider liking, subscribing and/or commenting. Have a blessed day and safe travels everyone.
