Monday/Tuesday March 16 /17- Cherola Skyway and Pigeon Forge TN - 1.5 miles hike and 10 miles walking in town
We left Charlotte early on Monday morning and took US-74 and various other roads to get from Charlotte to Robbinsville NC where the Skyway starts. The Skyway was beautiful and remote with virtually nobody on it. Parts of it were quite foggy. We did walk about 1.5 miles at one of the trailheads to look at a bald. Balds are spots on this otherwise tree covered mountain range that for unclear reasons, have seemingly never had much vegetation on them. This particular bald was quite long and narrow and looked itself like it could have been a trail as it sloped off the edge of the mountain like walking down a grass covered bowling ball.
Pigeon Forge was fun and relatively less obviously impacted by Coronavirus. The number of people who were around was very very slim especially at hotels and attractions but most things were open and available. The weather was quite rainy Tuesday so we opted not to do an actual trail hike but we did walk a hefty 10 miles in town along their Greenway and a few quiet city streets along the river. The river was flowing with ample water. We ate well and had a good time in Pigeon Forge.
