Climbing the Cherohala Skyway is an epically long climb through stunning Appalachian scenery, reaching high elevations over 5,300ft. The ascent from Tellico Plains is particularly demanding in length, gaining 4500ft despite a gentle average gradient of 3-4%, requiring hours of steady endurance along the smooth tarmac, sweeping curves, and breathtaking mountain vistas.
