Begin in Walland, TN where Foothills Parkway meets US 321 and travel South-West along the Parkway to US 129 (of Tail of The Dragon fame).
Scenery
Several pull-offs for sight-seeing along the Parkway offering views of the Great Smoky Mountains on one side and portions of the Tennessee Valley on the other.
Drive Enjoyment
Road quality is good. Some small patchwork areas, but nothing that should cause any major hazards. Several sweeping turns and a few sharp ones along the way.
Tourism Opportunities
No amenities along the Parkway or at the US 129 end. Stop for fuel and food in either Maryville or Walland before getting on the Parkway.
One of the best ways to get to the Dragon. make sure you stop and take some pictures from both sides of the road.

Straight up awesome ride! This is probably one of my favorites. Low traffic and can really shred on a bike.

Excellent views on the old parkway of Maryville, Knoxville. Plenty of spots to pull off. The new section that recently opened has several magnificent views. It has elevated roadways that remind us of The Blue Ridge Parkway.
