Description
Newfound Gap Road (US Highway 441). This 33-mile, paved mountainous road climbs all the way up to Newfound Gap, 5,048 feet above sea level. Newfound Gap Road offers several pull-offs with mountainous panoramic views.
It usually takes approximately one hour to get from Gatlinburg to Cherokee, so be prepared for a long drive. At the top of Newfound Gap, there is a huge parking lot with restrooms. Visitors usually stop here on top of the ridge to view the wondrous scenery and spruce forest.
One interesting monument is located there - the Rockefeller Memorial, in appreciation of the family's donations, which were instrumental in the creation of more than half the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This site was also where Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to inaugurate the park on September 2, 1940.
Access to the Appalachian Trail is also provided here
