THE RIDES:
We will have guided tours each day. The rides will take no more than 4 hours out and back. We are lucky to be right at the foot (TN side) of THE SNAKE (Stoney Creek, TN to Shady Valley, TN to Mountain City, TN).
The Roan Mountain Loop has got to be one of my favorites due to the beautiful mountain vistas. We will top the Bald and head into North Carolina for back roads riding at its best.
The Pink Loop is miles and miles of scenic lakes, mountains, and cozy little towns by Watauga Lake, Butler, TN, Boone, NC, and Elk Park, NC.
(We will have stops along the way for food and gas and maybe a little shopping)
We will also provide some other destinations of interest that you can enjoy on your own. Elizabethton and the surrounding Tri-Cities area is blessed with history. Home of the Cherokee for thousands of years and much of our culture comes from their ways along with the Scotch-Irish and German. Lots of historical points of interest to check out.
