About
A National Park Service parkway along the north-west edge of the Smokies, finally continuous after the "Missing Link" opened in 2018. No commercial traffic, no junctions and sweeping views across to Mount Le Conte — a fast, flowing counterpoint to the tight stuff nearby. Photo: Brian Stansberry / CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.
