Default What else to do in Dragon country

I'll be riding with some friends to the Gatlinburg, TN area the end of June. Obviously, ride the Dragon, Deals Gap, Cherohola Skyway. Plan on spending 5-6 days there. Biltmore Estate is pretty close. Blue Ridge Parkway. What else is there to do in the area?

Thanks

David

Wheels thru time in Maggie valley, check admission price on Biltmore might change your mind.

The Biltmore is worth the price. My wife made me go the first time back in '92. I went kicking and screaming. But I have to say Im glad she made me. Awesome place. Weve been back several times. They have a new tour I want to try. It takes you into the unfinished parts of the building and into the basement to see the mechanicals. Sounds really neat. After seeing this place I felt poor when I got home.

Foothills Parkway just between the Dragon and Townsend, TN. Richard Russell Scenic Highway between Blairsville, GA and Helen, GA. NC Hwy. 28 between Robinsville, NC and Franklin, NC. Hwy. 64 between Franklin, NC and Cashiers/Highland, NC. are just a few more scenic roads.

Devil's Triangle @ Oliver Springs, TN. Just west of Oak Ridge, TN. Well worth the ride!
