If you’ve lived in Tennessee for any length of time, then you know that this gorgeous state is chock full of beautiful drives and stunning vistas. It’s here in the Volunteer State that you’ll find the majesty of the Mississippi and the craggy beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, where you’ll stumble across rolling hills and stunning stretch of the Cumberland Plateau. This 23-mile drive is located on the eastern side of the state, and it’s one of our favorites. Have you been on the Cherohala Skyway yet?

Jim Liestman - Flickr Make sure to stop at the Cherohala Skyway Visitors Center in Tellico Plains before you begin your drive, so you can learn all about the history of the area.
John Getchel - Flickr Looking to stop for a hot second? Make a pit stop at Indian Boundary Lake where you can go fishing or perhaps kayak on the Ocoee River.
