Abstract:

The Cherohala Skyway runs from North Carolina's border with Tennessee to Big Santeelah Creek, a distance of eighteen miles. Lying in the remote southwestern part of the state, it provides drivers spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountains. The total length of the road is forty-three miles, and it took forty years and $100 million to construct in what was long thought impassable country.
