Some beautiful views and some interesting stops along route. Also, some real back country roads and scenes.Rocky Top General Store (This is not a tourist store, but a real country store)
Drive Enjoyment
Mostly two lane, a few miles of 1 and 1/2 lane. Mostly smooth roads, but about a mile of rough road on the 1 1/2 lane wide road. Plenty of curves and hills. You do not need to be an expert, but you need to be somewhat experienced. It is a back road ride so expect all types (no gravel).A winter day's view at that overlook in Panther Creek State Park
Tourism Opportunities
Not many stops along the route, but not a problem. There are enough gas and break stops along the route, especially near the beginning and end of the route. Best to always gas up before leaving.Bible Covered Bridge Historic Site. Route 349 is on the other side of the bridge. You turn on the new bridge to get to the parking area.
