Monroe County, Tennessee Drive the Crest of the Unicoi
Mountains in Eastern Tennessee Land of natural wonders, Native American
and mountain life heritage, and small charming towns - Sweetwater,
Madisonville, Tellico Plains, Vonore & Coker Creek. There are few places east of the Rockies which boast "mile-high" overlooks. The Cherohala Skyway is such a place. It connects the two National Forests the Cherokee and Nantahala one of the 81 National Scenic Byways, the Cherohala Skyway lives up to this high expectation. Located just southwest of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in a tranquil, mountainous section of East Tennessee. Within an easy days drive of most of the U.S. you can reach Monroe County and enjoy one of the prettiest lakes, Lake Tellico and the Cherokee National Forest with 167 miles of beautiful trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Come and enjoy our natural, peaceful beauty. Cherohala Skyway Travelers on the Tennessee side of the Cherohala Skyway are treated to the magnificent splendor of the Cherokee National Forest, including Bald River Falls and the Tellico River, where it is not uncommon to see a daring kayaker or leisurely fly fisherman making the most of these grand river resources. On the North Carolina side of the Cherohala skyway is one of the jewels of the Appalachians: Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, where giant trees are touchable, not just a page out of an American folk tale. In between are scenic vistas, picnic areas, campgrounds, and Citico Creek Wilderness Area, a back-country favorite of Backpacker Magazine. A short hike to Falls Branch Falls and the fragrance of Rhododendron blossoms is an experience to treasure for a lifetime. Nearby at Indian Boundary Lake, campers, swimmers and bicyclists redefine the term "outdoor enthusiast." One trip to the Cherohala is only the beginning. Season after season the Cherohala Skyway is becoming the most talked-about scenic drive in the East. Pickens County, Georgia Just a short jaunt north of Atlanta brings you to Pickens County and Jasper, Georgia-the first mountain city. Hidden away is the gated mountain community of Bent Tree nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Bent Tree is comprised of 3500 acres. It has an 18 hole champion golf course, indoor and outdoor tennis, two swimming pools, a 110 acre stocked lake, hiking trails and a stable. |
