Cherohala Skyway and Bald Creek Falls

For another trip to the mountains take a drive to Tellico Plains, TN. Take I-75 south from Knoxville, then south on Hwy 68 till you come to Rt. 165 which is the Cherohala Skyway http//www.cherohala.com/. This skyway is 21 miles on the Tennessee side and 15 miles on the North Carolina side. This is a beautiful drive at a pretty high elevation most of the way. We drove it one winter day after it had snowed and the roads had been cleared but the snow was still hanging from the trees. It was an awesome snowy scene.

Bald Creek Falls http//www.telliquah.com/Falls/Falls.htm is a waterfall that is located on Rt. 68 right beside the highway. Just park your car wherever you can and you can walk down to the waterfall. This is an area that the kayakers love when the water is running high. Sometimes you might get lucky and see them riding over some pretty high drops on the Tellico River.
