Drove all 33 miles of the old and newly opened section of the Foothills Parkway last week. Damn spectacular views of the Smokies. If you come to the Forge or Gatlinburg at least drive the new section. https://www.visitmysmokies.com/blog...link-along-foothills-parkway-to-be-completed/
We've been home twice since it opened but haven't made it up there yet. Over Christmas it was so overcast and crappy we knew we wouldn't have good views so we decided to wait until spring.
I need to get up there and check this out. Been a while since I visited the park and surrounding areas.
