Today we hit the road for the Great Smoky Mountains travelling basically north from the bottom up over the mountains and down the other side. Nashville is around 500 kms away so it was a fairly full on day. Stopped at the visitor centre first and got some info and then hit the road. The Smokies are beautiful. The views are breath taking. The road network through the mountains was fantastic and easy to drive considering it was windy road and up and down hills. We stopped at various vantage points along the way and took in the views. Once out the other side it was about 3 hours to Nashville on the motorway where we arrived just before dark. We are only in Nashville for a matter of hours as we fly to Seattle tomorrow at 2.00 pm. We are going to check out the city/downtown area and then get to the airport and give back the Chevy to Hertz!!
