About this route
US-441 straight through Great Smoky Mountains National Park, from Cherokee, North Carolina, up to Newfound Gap at about 1,540 m on the state line and down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Steady climbs, a loop-over bridge on the Tennessee side and forest all the way. Entrance is free, but parking for more than 15 minutes needs a park parking tag. Busy in summer and in autumn colours, and snow or ice can close it in winter.
