The Great Smoky Mountains are one of the top motorcycle destinations in the United States. A subrange of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the Fall, the Smokies come to life with vibrant yellow, orange, and red hues as the trees begin to change color and shed their leaves. This area of Tennessee and North Carolina has some of the best motorcycle roads in the country, most notably the famed Tail of the Dragon, the Cherohala Skyway, the Moonshiner, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. But there’s MUCH more to this area than that. The Blue Ridge Mountains are the perfect place to plan a solo or group motorcycle camping trip. Here’s everything we’ll be checking out in today’s video:
