Looking for GPX routes - Smokey Mountains
#1
![Default](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am taking a trip to the Smokey Mountain area in Sept/Oct and will be there for about 5 days. I am looking for 2 things, GPX routes and a place to say that is central to the riding but large enough to have a restaurant or bar close by, preferably close enough to a hotel that I can walk.
The plan is to say in the same place, ride out and ride back. I am used to Texas so 200 miles a day is what I am thinking but based on the fact that the Dragon is only 11 miles we may be able to get a lot of riding in a day only riding 100 miles per. I looked in this section and didn't see any gpx routes posted, hopefully someone is as **** retentive as I am and has already planned it all out.

I always stayed in Lodge at Tellico at the bottom of Cherohala. Nice cabin with indoor bike garage, pretty cool.
Great location for in and out. Unfortunately not much on restaurants/bars close by. I usually hit those along the way.
I don't have those gpx's anymore but lots of good roads in the area.

Supposedly this site has GPX files so I am going to check it out and maybe use some or just make my own.

The cool think about staying in one place for a week is that I can make several routes and interchange as needed. Or we can always just wing it with a map of the area.

This is one of the best resources for the area. They also have a Facebook page.
The Missing Link III incorporates quite a few of the major rides into one day if you want to do a big loop. Moonshiner 28 was definitely a favorite with us. If you’re a little farther NW at any time, Devil’s Triangle is worth hitting too.

We like to stay at Two Rivers, half way between Bryson City, and Cherokee. https://tworiverslodgenc.com/
Bryson City has a good selection of restaurants, and such, plus it's an easy ride to the area's great roads.
