Cherohala Skyway from Tellico Plains

The Cherohala rises 41km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,663m to 1,641m. The average gradient of 4.1% disguises ramps of 11.2% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. This is a climb of endurance — the kind of effort measured in hours, where pacing matters more than power. The road reaches 1,641m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Tennessee, United-states.
