Cherohala is still closed near the TN 4.5 mile marker. repairs ongoing but doesnt look like it will be open for our get together. From TDOT...."the official TDOT detour around the Cherohala Skyway closure takes drivers an additional 121 miles and nearly three hours to reach River Road from Old Furnace Road or vice versa". You can still enter from the NC side and ride into TN like F6Pilot says, but then you have to turn around or take the detour.
