From Gatlinburg, TN to Cherokee, NC, Newfound Gap Road threads through the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park β a 31-mile adventure of steep climbs, hairpin turns, and breathtaking overlooks.
Stop at Newfound Gap to straddle the TN/NC state line, stroll a portion of the Appalachian Trail, and snap views that feel like theyβre straight out of a postcard. ποΈ
Hike to Alum Cave Bluff, explore Quiet Walkways, or take in the sunset at Ben Morton Overlook. Every pullout and trail has a story, from CCC history to hidden rivers and old-growth forests.
Whether youβre chasing falls, peaks, or peaceful walks, Newfound Gap Road is more than a drive β itβs a full-on Smoky Mountains experience.
