Scenery – Between Athens & Etowah is a great view of Starr Mountain, providing a glimpse of what lies in store.

At Tellico Plains you begin your climb to over 5,000 ft. on the Cherohala Skyway, the best long stretch of touring road in the southeast. The Skyway passes through the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests – thus the name “Cherohala,” offering magnificent views.
