Cherohala Skyway

Needed  Shellaclava on Cherohala Skyway
The sky was bluer than blue. It was cold because of the brisk wind, but we were happy with the beautiful weather and sweeping curves of the Cherohala Skyway.

Haw Knob, Elevation 5,472 Feet

Here we are at the top of the Skyway, 5,500 feet up.
Tennessee View
Once you hit the top, it's a fast ride downhill to Tennesse's Tellico Plains. The ride and views are spectacular.
The Skyway was completed in the Fall of 1996 after 34 years of construction. There are 15 miles in North Carolina and 21 miles in Tennessee.
