Full length video on my first ride on the Cherohala Skyway. 

My first ride on the Cherohala Skyway. Riding my 2021 Honda Goldwing Tour DCT.
This is an awesome route....one of my top two rides on the East Coast. The skyway is a 43-mile National Scenic Byway from Tellico Plains, Tennessee, to Robbinsville, North Carolina. It is featured as one of Discovery Channel’s Top 10 Motorcycle Rides in North America; some call it the “best kept secret. It winds up and over 5,400 foot mountains for 18 miles in North Carolina and descends another 23 miles into the deeply forested back country of Tennessee. The road crosses through the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests thus the name “Chero…hala”. The Skyway is becoming well known in motorcycling and sportscar circles for it’s long, sweeping corners, scenic views and cool summer breezes.
It can be desolate at night and extremely dangerous in the winter months. There are no facilities other than a couple of restrooms for the entire 41 miles so make sure you have enough gas to make the crossing. There is little evidence of civilization from views that rival or surpass any from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
