Moto Explore: Ride East Tennessee

Escaping the traffic of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, I set out on my Harley-Davidson Pan America for an unforgettable ride through the mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. This route takes me along Highway 321, the scenic Foothills Parkway, Interstate 40, Big Creek Road, Bull Mountain Road, and into the quiet mountain community of Del Rio, Tennessee, before returning home through Hot Springs, North Carolina. From sweeping mountain vistas to secluded forest roads, this ride showcases why the Smoky Mountains region remains one of America's premier motorcycle destinations. Join me as I explore some of the lesser-known roads that make East Tennessee a rider's paradise.
