4. Mt Cammerer Fire Tower Cosby
Mount Cammerer is a mountain on the northeastern fringe of the Great Smoky Mountains, in the Southeastern United States.

The Appalachian Trail traverses Cammerer's south slope and a restored fire lookout at the summit offers panoramic views of the eastern Smokies, Cocke County, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although a narrow ridge connects Mt. Cammerer to a nearby higher knob, leaving Cammerer with a very low topographic prominence, the mountain is clearly visible not only from the surrounding mountains, but from various points in the town of Cosby and along I-40 as it crosses Cocke County. Mt. Cammerer is a popular hiking destination, especially in Autumn, when the leaves of the ...

8. Roaring Fork Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Roaring Fork is a stream in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, located in the Southeastern United States. Once the site of a small Appalachian community, today the stream's area is home to the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail and the Roaring Fork Historic District. Like many mountain streams, Roaring Fork is volatile. While the stream presents as a peaceful trickle on any given day, it quickly becomes a raging whitewater rapid after a mild rain shower. The roar of the water is amplified by its echo on surrounding mountain ridges.

Tail Of The Dragon - Like 195 MPH - Time Lapse Hi Def - 318 Curves 7 Cops 11 Miles - Gatlinburg

A Candid Review of Deer Ridge Mountain Resort Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Dragon Tail - 318 Curves, 7 Cops - All In 11 Miles - May 2011
Hi Def Time Lapse --- The Complete Run
Deal's Gap, NC To Foothills Parkway, TN

50 Minutes of Drive Time Compressed To 9 Minutes - Since we were driving at 35 mph, this video is like you are driving the Dragon Tail at 195 MPH!

Dragon Tail - 11 miles of road with 318 curves. A great drive with the top down and especially for motorcycles. One end is at Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort and the other end is at the entrance to the Foothills Parkway. Most of the road is in Tennessee. This was our second time on the tail....the first time was last fall with all the fall foliage. Both times with the top down on the convertible - which accounts for some of the windshield glare. Sorry about that - but was too beautiful a day to leave it up! Last time we drove the Dragon, we saw 3 wrecks - all motorcycles - so be careful. Don't end up with bits and pieces on the Tree of Shame!

The day we drove this for the photos and movie, we counted SEVEN cops - almost all speed traps. Enjoy - but drive safely. (See if you can spot all seven!)

BTW, Movie Trivia: Where we pull off the road, you can see the dam used in the movie, The Fugitive, with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones - where Dr. Richard Kimble jumped from the dam to escape Deputy Samuel Gerard. The freight train wreck that was staged for the movie is down the road from this shot, just outside of Dillsboro, North Carolina. The train wreckage is still there.

Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster on-ride HD POV @60fps

Skip forward to 3:24 if you only want to watch the downhill portion of the ride..

At 2500 feet in length, this Wiegand alpine coaster is the shortest of the four alpine coasters in the area but still a very fun ride and well worth trying out. This video was filmed at full speed throughout the ride.
The Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster is located near Pigeon Forge in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Also called mountain coasters, these gravity-operated rides installed on a hill or mountain utilizes a track made of stainless steel tubes. The sleds are designed to not come off of the track during the ride and riders control their speed by applying or releasing brakes connected to levers on each side of the sled.

Foothills Parkway: Connecting the Missing Link

The 1.65-mile section of the Foothills Parkway known as the Missing Link is now connected! Located on a stretch of yet unopened road between Walland and Wears Valley, the Missing Link has been an obstacle for road crews since construction issues ceased the project in 1987. With the series of bridges now complete, crews are currently paving and installing barriers. The end of this work is scheduled for late 2018, adding 16 miles of completed parkway between Walland and Wears Valley. Watch this video for a brief history of the Foothills Parkway and some of the story behind how the Missing Link has been connected.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park | USA

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States with over 11 million visitors. The park encompasses 522,419 acres, making it one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States. The park was established in 1934, and it is divided down its length by the Tennessee - North Carolina border.
The name of the range is commonly shortened to the Smokies, due to the ever-present morning fog and low clouds.
The main park entrances are located along U.S. Highway 441 (Newfound Gap Road) at the towns of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Cherokee, North Carolina.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has no entrance fees and the reason dates back to 1930s. The state of Tennessee stipulated that, no toll or license fee shall ever be imposed to travel the Newfound Gap Road.
The park is almost 95 percent forested, and almost 36 percent of it is estimated by the Park Service, to be old growth forest with many trees that predate European settlement of the area.
These ancient mountains provide ideal habitat for over 1,600 species of flowering plants, including 100 native tree species and over 100 native shrub species.
A tour through the park offers visitors breathtaking mountain scenery, including panoramic views, rushing mountain streams, and mature hardwood forests stretching to the horizon.
Over 2,100 miles of streams and rivers flow through Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Park is full of wildlife. Protected are around 65 species of mammals, over 200 varieties of birds, 67 native fish species, and more than 80 types of reptiles and amphibians.
Black Bear is perhaps the most famous resident of the park. Biologists estimate approximately 1,500 bears live in the park.
The largest is the elk, which was experimentally reintroduced to the park in 2001.
Whitetail deer are very common and in addition, visitors most often see squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, foxes,…
Coyotes are not often seen and just like bobcats, they are very reclusive.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been called the Salamander Capital of the World. 30 salamander species are found in the park, making this one of the most diverse areas on Earth.
About 800 miles of streams in the park support fish. The park boasts over 60 native fish species, including the brook trout.

There are 850 miles of trails and unpaved roads in the park for hiking, including seventy miles of the Appalachian Trail. At 6,625 feet tall, Clingmans Dome is the highest point along the whole Appalachian Trail.
Fifty-foot observation deck offers views for many miles over the Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia mountains on a clear day.
Alum Cave Trail provides many scenic overlooks and unique natural attractions such as, Alum Cave Bluffs and Arch Rock. This trail leads to the Mount Le Conte, which is one of the most visited viewpoints.
There are a great number of waterfalls in the park. Every year over 200,000 visitors hike well-worn trails to view Grotto, Laurel, Abrams, Rainbow, and other popular waterfalls in the park. Large waterfalls attract the crowds, but smaller cascades and falls can be found on nearly every river and stream in the park.
If you love historic structures, Great Smoky Mountains National Park holds one of the best collections in the eastern United States. Over 90 historic structures—houses, barns, outbuildings, churches, schools, and grist mills—have been preserved or rehabilitated in the park.
Being the most visited national park, traffic in the park may become congested at times, especially on the Newfound Gap and Cades Cove Loop roads. Most visitors are observed between July 1 and August 15 and in the month of October (especially October weekends).
